of only 254 devices at one time.

The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has assigned several address ranges to be used by private networks.

Address ranges to be use by private networks are:
Class A: 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255
Class B: 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
Class C: 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255

If 0 and 255 should not be used for the last number then the 192 block gives you 254 address, 172.16 gives you 65534, and 10 gives you 16777214 addresses.
