Depending on the size and complexity of your network, a few
DHCP configurations can be envisaged:
(W)LAN

Argumentation
All few members of the small (W)LAN have static IP
addresses, including the STWireless.
For small home (W)LANs it might be worthwhile to
configure all of your (W)LAN devices as DHCP clients,
and the STWireless as the DHCP server.
In this configuration each time a computer starts, it
will obtain its IP configuration from the STWireless.
For advanced networks, the role of DHCP server
might be performed by an IP node other than the
STWireless on the local (W)LAN.
Typically such functions are attributed to home
gateways: computers having better networking
capabilities than the other PC(s) on the home (W)LAN.
All local PCs remain configured as DHCP clients,
including the STWireless.
