They are on the same network ...the range for the class C with a
255.255.255.0 subnet is 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254.
The built in DHCP server is only using the 100 to 149 range to give out to
DHCP clients - allowing you to use the lower numbers for static IP
assignments. The default config allows for 50 clients. You could change
the DHCP server range from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254 if you so wished.
