Just turn off dhcp on the router and make sure the LAN interface is set to the right network. Alternatively, keep dhcp on, set to the right network, but set the pool of available addresses to exclude the ones you are using at the moment. That way, you have the option of using dhcp for any new additions to your network. Peter.
