definitely! Also, I assign fixed IP to all my SB players (since they
don't leave the house/network).  And I mean true "fixed" IP addresses,
not simply reserved IP addresses in router. I assign fixed IP addresses
outside the range that the router hands out DHCP addresses.  I use
something like:

(this all assumes your router is 192.168.1.1;  some are 192.168.0.1)

IP:   192.168.1.20   (the "20" can be anything above 1 and below where
your DHCP starts in the router. mine start at .100)
subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1   (this is just your router IP address)
DNS:  192.168.1.1  (this can be your router IP address....one can also
use the google DNS, which is:  8.8.8.8)

with older players, sb3, boom, receiver, one can easily setup fixed IPs
using the menu. With TOUCH and RADIO, it is a bit harder.  I simply
temporarily turn OFF the DHCP in my router, then go through a factory
setup with the TOUCH or RADIO or DUET CONTROLLER.  It can't get  an IP
address via DHCP and then will fail and give you the option to manually
enter IP address info (may have to scroll down a bit on menu screen to
see this manual option once the automatic assignment fails).   Once
done, then turn DHCP in router back to "on"
