    New WiFi 6 w/DHCP features

    Just thought I’d close this thread by saying I went with a Unifi Dream Machine. It includes their ‘Controller‘ management software which is excellent. Since then I’ve replaced my switches with Unifi, and added two more of their APs (one WiFi 6), I can now cover most of my 10 acres. My original...

    New WiFi 6 w/DHCP features

    I’ve been working with DHCP for over 25 years, starting on a very large network; I’ve built my management practices over time and feel they are efficient, make administration easier, and make it easier to see when something is out of place. I don’t expect anyone else to share my concerns or...

    New WiFi 6 w/DHCP features

    Thanks for your thoughts, that’s something I hadn’t considered, and sounds viable, I will keep open to that possible configuration. The fact that I’m still using my 7 year old Apple AirPort Extreme makes me think that my needs are not that ... extreme. It does 64 DHCP reservations and sorts by...

    New WiFi 6 w/DHCP features

    Thought I’d bump this thread, still using my Apple AirPort Extreme, but still wanting a new WiFi 6 router with the DHCP requirements I list above. Thanks.

    New WiFi 6 w/DHCP features

    So it appears DHCP isn’t a hot topic, that’s ok, here’s what I’ve found so far (which doesn’t include a router that meets my needs). ASUS — Any model, including all the new WiFi 6 models are limited to a maximum of 64 DHCP addresses, so a non starter. They also can’t sort the reservation table...

    So, anyone check out the DHCP features in their router? Does it have more than 64 reservations? Can it sort by IP address? Does it reorder addresses when you edit the MAC?

    New WiFi 6 w/DHCP features

    Thanks for your reply, I guess my post wasn’t clear so I’ve added a sentence. Edit: I believe any choice I make will fulfill my range needs, this post is to help me find a router that will meet the following DHCP needs.

    Right, Power is the same, but antennas aren’t. Modern routers have more sophisticated antenna systems, both the ASUS and the Nighthawk go further than my 6 year old Apple. Either would be fine as far as that’s concerned, but they don’t meet my DHCP needs, which is why I focused on that in the title.

    New WiFi 6 w/DHCP features

    I’m looking for a new WiFi router for my medium/large home on a large property. My current Apple AirPort Extreme works well enough, but there are a couple things I’d like to improve. Most of my network devices are wired, and I’m in a rural environment so congestion isn’t a problem; and my...
