FWIW, I did this (disabled DHCP) and assigned the LAN port 192.168.2.1
and the WAN port to 192.168.1.192 and with hardcoded client addresses in
192.168.2.x I can now reach the local net and route packets out through
the firewall, etc. DHCP didn't change to 192.168.2.x when I assigned the
new LAN IP, so perhaps it doesn't work that way.

Thanks for the help. I'll continue to poke at it with sharp sticks and
look into dd-wrt, et al., but for the moment this seems to have given me
a workable solution that Just Works.
