The WiFi router usually assigns dynamic addresses in a configured range.
That does not stop you assigning additional static addresses, I think
in any range, but to be safe in the router DHCP range.
With fixed static addresses you can do the point to point and gateway
stuff without issue.
To clarify the access point will typically assign a subset of a class-C
range for DHCP. It will usually be O.K. to assign static addresses in
the same class C but out of the DHCP range
An alternative depending on the router is to configure the router to
have fixed DHCP addresses based on MAC addres.
