Others have suggested using static IP's on the workstations and not
bothering with "static DHCP" in the router. That works, but has one
problem. If the client is a laptop, and you want move around to other
access points (i.e. work, skool, coffee shop, etc) that use DHCP
assigned addresses, you'll need to change the configuration of your
network connection.

I have a recollection of getting round this by adding two connections,
one with fixed IP and one with DHCP, and disabling whichever one was
inappropriate. Much quicker than fooling with the DHCP settings.

How do (did) you create an additional connection for a single hardware
device?

I just checked my WMP54GX settings and this link doesn't seem to apply to
this pci adapter, (I can't get bridge connections to work with it either)
but I remember doing it with my HP laptop that has a usb dongle. It's the
"alternate configuration" part.
