Devices pulling invalid IP Addresses and losing connection

Every "permanent" device in my network has an assigned IP address, and that includes tablets and smartphones. About the only things getting IP's from the DHCP pool are gizmos that I plug in to test and then put in a box.
Something for Chad135 to try then?
Assigned in the router? On the device? Both?
