Reaching the end of the IPS of my LAN

RouterOS Wireless Networking

Hello everyone
I have a WISP whose LAN is 192.168.1.1/24 and I am already reaching the end of the hosts, how can I expand the range of IPs without using another network segment?

You can extend numbering to 192.168.1.1/23 … which gives you another 256 addresses (192.168.1.1-192.168.2.254 … usable host addresses are then also 192.168.1.255 and 192.168.2.0). You have to change netmask on router’s LAN interface, change address pool for DHCP server, change network mask in DHCP network settings, change netmask (and broadcast address which becomes 192.168.2.255) on hosts with statically set network parameters. In case you need subnet mask in dotted format, it’s 255.255.254.0.

Mkx is almost correct. The subnet containing 192.168.1.1/23 would actually be 192.168.0.0/23 so the usable range is 192.168.0.1-192.168.1.254

Right. I stand corrected.
