      A /24 is a silly thing on almost any SMB network. With the number of devices per user on a modern network you will smack that limit quick.

      Even at home it's not hard to hit it quickly these days. I mean, not going to happen often. But between routers, switches, access points, mobile phones, VoIP devices, IoT devices, sensors, laptops, desktops, gaming machines, visitors, etc. and if you have a home lab with tons of VMs or containers, it adds up fast.

      Yeah, its possible if every device is static and the lease time is unlimited.

        Or they are just all on within a reasonable amount of time.

            What's the default lease duration in UBNT routers? I know Windows DHCP is limited to 8 days.

              24 hours. I rarely leave it default though. I like 8 hours. If shit is going to break, I want to know about it sooner rather than later.
