[Ti] DHCP can be static IP but dynamic Router

That's what my home network does. I imagine that's sufficient to 
prevent war driving: my setup will only give an IP address to MAC 
addresses it knows. The interface then requires me to specify a 
static IP address, but that's no problem. (This is an SMC router, 
which I'm quite happy with.)
