Re: Let APs do DHCP ?
Bob, On a small network/AP that only has a few users per AP, You would be fine running DHCP in the AP. When it gets loaded up is when the trouble starts. Most AP's need all the horsepower they can get above 30 users, and DHCP is just another thing to add strain to it. Most of the AP's that I have worked with have an arp table in them showing all of the MAC's that are local and ones that it sees but are remote. If You look in the router to see which MAC is associated with which IP, You could then look at the arp table and see what MAC is coming thru which AP. It might be a little more of a hassle?, but at least the router is still taking care of DHCP.
