I never considered that possibility since I have been doing this
routinely over the last four years, even with the wndr3300 router
that now has DD-WRT in it! But it sure looks like that might be the
case now that you suggested it?
There is no other dhcp server in the system. About all I could do is
change a dozen dhcp devices with fixed addresses. I changed too
dhcp since there were fewer router configuration problems using it.
Some of the devices are portable and have been taken on vacation by
the users, system changes now are a major effort but I may have to
"bite the bullet." It's more likely though that I will simply trash
the router which has been nothing but grief since I bought it. I had
hoped to make something useful of it ... I have a different router
on order from a different manufacturer, I feel I got stuck with the
WNDR3300!
Thanks for your thoughts.
