no, don't have my own space yet.

The renumbering isn't normally too bad.   I did that not long ago, to 
shuffle around some subnets and make space for more clients.   Painlessly 
and nobody noticed.   However,  I have ONE access point that's "legacy" with 
clients back from my startup time and it has a number of non-dhcp clients on 
it.   This WILL involve a lot of drive time, to get all them fixed.

The access points themselves do all the routing and store the DHCP settings, 
so, it's just a matter of downloading the config, hand altering it, and 
uploading.   Our ip's are assigned to MAC addresses and it's really not all 
that troublesome.   I just use a word processor and and do a "replace" for 
the first 3 and hand assign the rest.    Takes perhaps 10 minutes per AP.
