Because I am going to customers to configure their printers and I don't want to carry more cables, the router, and other things. With something on the laptop I just need the laptop and one cable.
What? Are you leaving that laptop at your client's to act as a DHCP server? I'm pretty sure Tony wasn't suggesting you carry anything with you, but configure whatever router is on the client's network.
I don't know how a DHCP server running on your own portable machine is going to help but to set up a 1-time IP. Won't it just get wiped the next time the printers are rebooted? Does your client not have an existing DHCP service running on their network?
