Hello
I have network dedicated for WiFi: 192.168.33.0/24 with DHCP on PA box. Lease time is 30min but even with that there is a lot of commited IP's that are unusable because of lack of Wifi coverage.
I'd like to expand it and get more than 250 possible IP's - how to achieve it
Sorry for silly questions ...

If you expand the network on the interface on the PA to larger then a /24 it should give you the space.
IE .. 192.168.32.0/23 would give you 510 addresses to play with. (192.168.32.0 - 192.168.33.255)
after you expand he network, you should be increase the size of the DHCP pool.
if you want more then 510, you can change it to be 192.168.32.0/22 for 1022 addresses.

Hello
Thank You
One more thing - for such change You must change interface settings as well.

Yup, you have to expand the network before you can do the DHCP pool.
