Don't some devices have "sync" buttons or options where you push a button on router and on device and they pair up, exchanging info.

My network laser printer is wireless via a bridge and I fix the IP outside the DHCP range so I can put entries in /etc/hosts to refer to printer by name. (Windows picks up this automatically but not Linux).
