 I haven't seen a router yet that is hardwired to use a specific subnet
(kind of defeats the purpose of being a router<g>).  Your missing something.

  This is one of the reason I said 15 minutes or so.  The printers would
need to be change by hand if their static. Changing the DHCP server should
take only a matter of minutes.

 Glad you brought that point up.  I should have mentioned it...

Jim.

As long as you DHCP server can handle it.

We've been running a D-Link WAP/Router on a  project network at a site I'm 
currently working on. It acts as a DHCP server - we have a couple of 
printers and a couple of workstations on static IPs and the rest using 
192.168.100.xxx  served up by the WAP.

It's been paying up so the suppliers came in with a replace.  They brought 
in a Linksys today to replace it. When they went to set up the DHCP server, 
on it, it turned out to be hard coded to use 192.168.1.xxx.  

Unfortunately,  I'm using two network cards on my workstation there so that 
I can interface with both the project network and the primary client 
network - which  uses 192.168.1.xxx  :-(
