[LUAU] Add dhcp wlan on existing static lan

[Jon Reynolds]

Hi Al,

Give the wireless AP a static IP and create a scope that doesn't  
interfere with what you are using for your desktops. So if your  
desktops are all in the 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.120 range set the  
dhcp server to only give out addresses that are not in that range. A  
better idea might be to use vlans so that when a laptop does come on  
to your network, if it is compromised or infected, it will not be able  
to infect the rest of your network.

Hope that helps,

Jon
