I don't know the SHUB settings but on my router I configure DHCP range from .100 to .199 and use the lower numbers for network devices or clients I want to fix and .200.254 for things like printers, TiVos etc that I also want to fix but are more "publicly" available.

So I would still fix network devices like switches, routers, AP's to the low numbers. The range is big enough I can add new routers/AP's etc to replace older ones, get them working then retire the old.

For some devices they still use DHCP but I fix the IP via MAC address.
