Hello,

 

I have FTTP with 1000 MBPS.

My motel has 30 rooms, used VX420-G2h as router, Ethernet backhal 20 Deco unites (some unmanaged GB switch) across the room to provide Mesh Wifi.

It worked great, until DHCP IP Pool is not large enough: Guest connection, Smart TV connection, IOT connection, cameras etc

Obviously VX420-G2h is for home use and can not handle such large IP pools.

 

Can I SIMPLY change the router to Omada router to enlarge the IP pool to be /23 (512 address?)

 

Thanks

Can you share the topology information? Do we know if all the devices are connected with a single unmanaged switch? Also the deco mesh system is also connected with same unmanaged switch? Sometimes creating a single large Broad case domains specially in case where you have a lot of media devices isn't good. Would suggest you to separate the networks so that is TV / media gets busy it wouldn't impact wifi. Also gives you additional controls on security as you might not want users on wifi to access management or any other service running on different vlan which can be done via access controls.
