When you have it start at .6 on DHCP, you usually end up getting people's iPhones connecting to the router. I would suggest keeping the DHCP IP field after .10. Also, I haven't looked, but there's probably a way to forwarding internet only through ethernet, keeping it out of wireless, so you can disable security. You could then switch between networks on the computer without rewiring anything. If it's just not practical to disable internet over wireless, instead of using security, you could use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) which has a password. This is all handled in software, and so will actually require less hardware dedication from the router and the computer an will pass more data through. It's also quite a bit more secure. Anyone can log into the network, but only people with the VPN password can get any usable data out of it.
DS should really only be run under the Driver account, not the Developer one. That keeps all of the drivers and background programs where they're supposed to be. FIRST has set up the Driver account very specially so that all of the necessary programs start and stop when you log in and out. I'm not sure if they're all enabled for the Developer account. Developer was mainly intended for people to write LabView code on.
