The Wifi and ethernet connections have distinct MAC addresses. As long as only one interface is connected, a single static IP address can be assigned for the device. However, if you are creating reservations in the DHCP server, each MAC address should get its own entry and separate IP address. Unless you are really only going to ever use just one interface or the other. In which case the reservation should be for the MAC address of interface you are going to use. Considering how many IPs are available, it certainly wouldn't hurt to create both reservations to make it easier to move things around. On Don's router, both the primary and guest wifi networks can be configured to not communicate with the switch ports on the router (wireless isolation). It has the additional little gotcha that there's a setting to schedule when to turn the wireless radio on and off. Enabling wireless isolation and/or scheduling the wireless to turn off would certainly wreak havoc with connectivity.
