check all your devices have N compatibility drivers / NIC cards

any desktop computers or hard wired systems, statically assign the IP addresses from a given pool range

the rest can get their IP from DHCP
you could create a VLAN for the office to separate the taffic!

I configured a Linksys E4300 bu using the router’s WAN link to connect to the office LAN. When a Wireless device connects to the Linksys, it provides a DHCP ip address different from the LAN ip address scheme. Since the router is being used (at this point) as simply a WAP, do you see any advantage to configuring the E4300 DHCP to provide the same addressing scheme as the office LAN or “it doesn’t matter?” Thanks.
