I would probably go with any piece of consumer or business grade hardware
wifi router that has at least the number of wired ports you need at each
branch for your printers.
Thus the router creates a new private LAN typically 192.168 or 10 x for
the devices physically attached to the router. Th
You still have the added management overhead for consumer devices running a
standalone dhcp server which have to be kept operational and monitored. If
he doesn't have server infrastructure at the sites that the dhcp daemon can
be dropped on, he's better off relaying it to where it can be properly

You can get one off ebay tomorrow if you're willing to pay. I'm not sure
why you would buy one of those when you can get a router off the shelf at
Walmart right now or at 3AM or whenever it breaks.

Not to argue the point about the Pi - last week when I was browsing
adafruit they had the Pi in stock (albeit not at list price.)

+1 on the router. Raspberry Pi devices are great except that you can't

I'm not suggesting you have the DD-WRT device doing firewall or routing.
You can simply have it sitting in your network, dishing out DHCP
(including reservations). Clients would still route as they always have.
They would just have this little solid-state device doing DHCP, as opposed
to the rou

On a re-read, what about a Raspberry Pi in a suitable case? Saw an
aluminum milled case (think: costs more than the Pi) on adafruit. I
brought mine up without ever connecting the HDMI, just applied power and
observed what address it was given, then made an SSH connection. From that
point you've

Okay guys,
All of my extensive DHCP configuration experience (which fits on the
back of a personal check sized envelope) has been sought by one of our
customers (me and my big mouth). You see, they have Cisco ASA 5510
firewalls which do DHCP but not reserved IPs which we need to keep these
