Here on my network, I have a few fixed location computers and some

don't want my phone of notebooks to be static. I want these mobile devices
to connect using DHCP to whatever network they are near. So I need DHCP at
home. If you have any mobile devices that you need to have DHCP.
Once you already have DHCP how much extra work is it to make the IP lease
fixed? One or two mouse clicks. Then you have a central place to do all
the IP assignments and there is little chance to using the same IP twice.
You're still talking about mobile devices. Do you consider a CNC
machine a mobile device?
The "D" in DHCP is for "dynamic." Why bother with it when you can set
the IP address statically at build/configure time once and you don't
have to worry about it again? It's not like you're going to take your
CNC machine to Starbucks with you. A few clicks on your DHCP server and
you can set a range of static IP addresses too.
