[arm-allstar] Wifi Question

[Patrick Perdue]

I don't recommend setting the IP address static on the client end, 
especially with WiFi. You could possibly find yourself in a world of 
hurt if you ever need to connect to a different network or a segment on 
a different subnet. It's  much better to let the router handle reserved 
MAC/DHCP leases, as others have mentioned here. Any good router, and 
most bad ones made in the last twenty years will let you do this.
