Re: DD-WRT for router
You can enable DHCP if you want, on the router, without DD-WRT. If you are using LabVIEW, as long as you don't change the IP while the robot is connected, it will not actually care if the dev computer is not 10.xx.yy.06. If you change the IP of the computer used to program it, you have to reboot for it to listen to another computer, but it will still be OK. I would assume C++ and Java would care less, since they use FTP to upload compiled (or semi-compiled for Java) code and don't have any real-time feedback to the host computer.
I have set static DHCP addresses by MAC for all routers I have used much (including the Linksys driver station router in the kit, DD-WRT, and pfSense). DD-WRT is not unique. It should be possible in the Linksys firmware.
Set the DHCP start address somewhere out of range (how about 10?) and enable it, you will be fine.
