Asking for clarification as what I’ve read suggests yes, but is also sometimes coupled with advice to (still?) set a static IP outside of the DHCP address range as well.

Thanks in advance!

    Good question, and I’m curious what the experts say. Surely it depends on the software that handles DHCP.

    I’ve always set static addresses in the DHCP address range and it has always been reserved and never assigned to other devices. I’ve used ASUS and MikroTik for what it’s worth.

    If you’re the type to set static addresses on the devices themselves, then that would certainly increase the risk of a conflict if it’s inside the address range.
