In my household theres only 2 laptops, iphone, and ps3 that would need to connect to my net, thus i only issue ip address from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.5

and if a friend wants to connect onto my network, i simply turn off one of my connected devices or just change it from 1.5 to 1.6
"Safest"? Hardly. That adds only the faintest bit of security, because it doesn't limit the IPs that can connect, only the ones that are issued by the DHCP server. I could manually set my IP to 192.168.1.anything-from-2-to-253 and connect to your network, unless you're actually filtering IPs. And even at that, I could set my IP to one within your range, and knock one of your machines off the network.
