      When clients go offline they don't always release their lease. Therefore it is possible you might have (for example) 50 clients online but 200 "active" leases. It might help to reduce the lease time OR increase the range of available addresses.

          So you changed your lan network to bigger, you posted you were using a /24 – sorry but /24 does not allow for 1000 clients.  You would have to be at min /22 for 1000 nodes

            /24 : old subnet
            /21: now (/21 have 2000 clients  but i set range 1000 clients)
            thanks for reply

              not really the way I would of gone about it that is for sure.  How about just lowering the lease so that they would be freed up after a client disconnected.  Default I believe is 24 hours.
