Hi Kevin,

Thank you for your reply.  However, I did *not* state I wanted _separate_  _subnets_ (although that would be great).  Knowing multiple subnets are beyond the capabilities of home devices I am (still) hoping to have multiple DHCP _pools_ *within* the same subnet. 

For example:  192.168.5.0/24

192.168.5.5                   Router
192.168.5.6 to .10         Static IP range for Access points
192.168.5.30 to .69       DHCP Pool for hardwired devices
192.168.5.80 to .119     DHCP Pool for normal Wi-Fi devices
192.168.5.130 to .169   DHCP Pool for Guest Wi-Fi devices
192.168.5.180 to .199   DHCP Pool for VPN connections
192.168.5.210 to .224   Static IP range for servers
192.168.5.235 to .249   Static IP range for printers

Even if I need to use Reserved IP addreses for some things I can manage that.  Right now, on my Linksys router, I try to keep up with everything using IP reservations within one big pool.  But the router seems to "forget" reservations.  Quality... 

If it were possible to configure each interface to a separate pool like that it would meet my needs.  If it could be done with a WRT router I would want to set one up.  However, I would not know how to go about writing such a configuration file if it doesn't have everything in a GUI.  My router configurations days are 20 years out of date.  I've forgoten much of it and the features and commands have developed so much I hardly know where I would start.  I'd prefer to get assistance from an expert rather than have to relearn everything from scratch. 

But if that is what it would take I would take it up.  I just need to know what router (any brand) can do it. 

It just occured to me that to wonder whether it could be done with a different subnet *mask*?  I would have to write it out but would it be possible to make the *devices* think the SNM is /27?  That would provide "pseudo-subnets" of 32 addresses.  Meanwhile the router would handle everything like a standard /24 subnet.  That's probably too complicated... 

Thank you.

P.S.  You double posted your first response.  It is probably the computer's fault.
