Yes, same here. I think some devices automatically attach themselves to WiFi whenever they can. In which case it will use the church wifi every time that member walks into the building regardless of what they're doing with it.

Is there a way to set static IPs by MAC address from the firewall side? We have some devices that only work on DHCP and my biggest challenge is keeping those devices at the same IP address whenever there is a firewall update.

I don't think so. You call all GS, but I wouldn't guarantee that it wouldn't get wiped out on a update.

I am glad only 223 dynamic connections were available. I have set all the clerk and FHC computers to use static IP addresses, so I was still able to use the stake clerk's computer during stake conference. It was sluggish, though. The bandwidth for the day was about the same as a typical Sunday, but it was concentrated into fewer hours.

That will be changing.

Quite substantially!

Our Stake centre now has a total DHCP Pool of 1244. Made up of Static & Dynamic addresses, including the FHC, Public Network, Facilities etc..
