Between my wife, me and our sons, when they stop by, we've got four ipads, two droid tablets,
five or six laptops, three kindles, iPhones, droid phones, Roku, and various
BeagleBones, Pis, Arduino wifi shields and serial/terminal servers.
I fix the ip of most of 'em - in the router.
As far as the devices know, they're on dhcp.
I run a bunch of external sync/streaming/server applications.
Even though the router can handle the various port forwarding rules by mac or machine name,
I like knowing who's what and where when something inevitably goes "sproing."
