6. Change protocol from "Static Address" to DHCP client. Set an appropriate hostname (such as antMiner) then click Save and Apply.

What would be the advantage of DHCP vs static? With DHCP you will need to check it (IP) every time you want to login or ssh.
Not a big deal, of course, but why bother?

ive always done DHCP and my IP addys have never changed, even after reboots and shut down's to move hardware around the garage

Interesting, because my family iphones, ipads and laptops IPs are always rotating when on DHCP; same with PC that went for repair of the power source.
Once it came back-different IP, even completely out of previous range. Maybe it is different for miners.

Depends on lease length and how long the devices are away from the network. If the lease expires before the device reassociates and another device associates in the meantime, it will end up taking the IP and they will rotate. If however the devices aren't moving around much, they will just keep renewing their leases and keeping the same IPs.
