RV042 maximum number of DHCP clients

[dsloanebo]

I have a few sites using the RV042 with wireless access points and some of them have over 50 devices.

In reviewing the documentation (specifically,http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/csbr/rv0xx/administration/guide/rv0xx_AG_78-19576.pdf), I came across this:

Enable DHCP server: Check the box to allow the router to dynamically assign IP addresses to up to 50 connected devices. Uncheck the box if you have another DHCP server on the network or you want to configure static IP addresses for your network devices.

Is this accurate?  Or will the RV042 allow more than 50 devices?

Thanks in advance.

You could always adjust the start/end IP address of the DHCP address pool to accommodate more clients up to 253.

50 is the default pool size.

Thanks for your reply.  So the document is incorrect, or perhaps out of date?

You are right, David. I will pass it on to the product team.

Hi Te-Kai Liu,

This documentation page https://sbkb.cisco.com/CiscoSB/GetArticle.aspx?docid=60258cca0efe4ff8a13dafd61f499a31_IPv4_DHCP_Server_Configuration.xml&pid=2&converted=0

still shows a limit of 50. You mentioned that you would notify the product team. Is there any update? As it is, your statement still conflicts with the published product documentation.

Thanks.
