Re: Home network - switch issue

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.
You can configure DHCP reservations on the Superhub but it hardly seems worth the hassle in this case if the OP is using it as no more than just a dumb switch.

Better off just setting the default VLAN configuration to use DHCP and there's no need to worry about it when changing ISP again in the future.
