I agree with the above...for a non-technical person. That said...a large % of the issues "I" encountered were the hand-shake negotiations that occur...even on $750K routers/switches...so removing that from the equation was a "better" option. Simple things...like half verses full-duplex for example. It just depends....and applies at all levels of the protocols and stacks. If you know what you're doing....consider this option. DHCP....it's those Damn D's that are usually problematic....including routing tables, etc.
That's also why a router reboot might take multiple attempts....YMMV.
