Simple Smart Algorithm for Flexibility of Dynamic Allocation in DHCP Server for SOHO Wireless Router

An inherit problem exists in the small office home office (SOHO) wireless router is the connectivity issue, specially when dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP)'s pool is running out. SOHO wireless router is designed to serve a small number of wireless clients. The modification of the OS is possible with some restrictions, especially the size. This research has modified the wireless router OS using simple smart algorithm to enhance the flexibility of dynamic allocation in DHCP server for SOHO wireless router. It switches the selection process of DHCP server that considering resource allocation of each joined DHCP relays. The modified wirelesss router is able to serve more than 10 times connected clients compared to using the original firmware with more than twice longer service time duration. This paper deals with the examination of the proposed simple smart algorithm in real SOHO wireless router.
