Post subject: How to configure DHCP in firstspot for more than 255 clients

I have around 500 active clients for my WiFi hotspot service but since the DHCP can have only 255 IP addresses all of my clients cannot connect to my WiFi network at the same time.

How can I configure the DHCP service to accept more than 255 clients at one time in the firstspot application?

Just change Visitor Network Interface subnet mask to 255.255.0.0, and then restart FirstSpot.

Refer to chapter 3 (DHCP section) of firstpsot_guide.pdf for more information.
