With my equipment layout that would require installing another
computer downstairs at the "modem" and wireless router location.
Presently there's only an Apple Mac Pro something, my daughter's
desktop there. If I'm really limited in the number of dhcp addresses
I guess I will have to begin assigning fixed addresses to things
like tv cameras and printers, laptops, iPods, etc. This family can't
seem to function without a connection to our LAN. Getting some of
those devices to work with dhcp was a chore [I rarely deal with
Windows and the Apple stuff is strange to me too], fixed addresses
will be more difficult. I believe the router on order also runs
DD-WRT and I hope to replace this older Netgear WGR614 with it.
I have often regretted the decision to install the "modem" there
rather than up here in my room, it was simply an easier cable run
using existing holes in the house. Now when I have router problems I
have to string a fifty foot cat-5 cable through the place or keep
running back and forth making adjustments.
Tomorrow I will start assigning fixed addresses to the items that I
can get to easily. Hopefully the new Ubiquiti router will allow more
dhcp client addresses than this router I have been experimenting with.
