3. 'Fixed' devices that need to be connected to (i.e. printers, NAS, desktop PC) are static*. Laptops, phones etc are on DHCP.

*in some cases the device is set to DHCP but the DHCP server is set to allocate a known, 'static' address outside of the main pool.

Re: Poll - DHCP or Static
Static for my media server (well, technically "reserved dhcp", too lazy to set up true static), and desktop.
DHCP for my android, laptop, and tablet.

Re: Poll - DHCP or Static
Wired v wireless. Static for desktop, NASs, printers and TVoIP STB; DHCP for laptops, tablets and smartphones. New router means visitors now on a guest network and thinking of reserving IP for laptops using their MACs.

Re: Poll - DHCP or Static
I use traditional static for infrastructure, reserved DHCP for installed kit and pool DHCP for portable kit. I'm IP multicultural. ~
