RV160 static dhcp table settings

I am a relative novice on the RV160 although I have gone through the initial setup procedure without any apparent issues.  I have three question concerning the Static DHCP table.

1.  This may seem dumb, but the "enabled" column shows "Disabled" for all listed devices.  Just want to check that means that all devices shown are in fact static i.e that DHCP has been disabled.

2.  As the list includes devices that are connected wirelessly, I assume that I need to change these devices to DHCP "enabled".  I had already set each of these devices to DHCP (e.g. on the PC wireless adapter settings).  My wireless network runs on a different network (192.168.2.xx) so I am a bit confused that they show up on the Cisco router where the VLAN is set to 192.168.1.xx.

3. Am I right that I need to set each of these devices to DHCP enabled? And that i would do that by using the table's edit feature, selecting each of the devices concerned and then changing "disabled" to "enabled"?

 the idea of the feature Static DHCP is to assign the same IP address to a specific device every time. If your device can use any IP assigned by DHCP then you dont need to make them static.

Thank you for confirming my understanding.  As you had not answered the my other specific questions I assumed it was Ok to proceed as I had implied so I did.
