i’ve a question and need your guidance to solve my problem..
as i understand, 1 hotspot profiles only support 254 ips for an example in ip pool (10.5.50.2-10.5.50.254).. that’s mean i can only support 250+ users in 1-HotSpot Network..
if i would like to support more user i need to create HotSpot-2 in another eth port with another ip pool..
so my question is, can i create more than 254 users just in 1 HotSpot network only.. so then i don’t need to create another hotspot server in another eth port..
Use a larger subnet than the default /24 - if you change to 10.5.50.1/23 you could use 10.5.50.2-10.5.51.254 which gives you 509, or 10.5.50.1/22 you could use 10.5.50.2-10.5.53.254 which gives you 1021.
I can’t recall if you can set a larger subnet in the hotspot wizard, or if you need to change the IP address, IP pool & DHCP network settings manually. Depending on what all these clients are doing you may need a fairly powerful Mikrotik.
