IP Assignment Errors and WPS

Hi all, recently my son pressed the WPS button on the front of my router and I can't seem to turn it off (if I remember crrectly, when off it is not lit up). I have tried resetting it twice but the light keeps coming back on (I have ensured no one can press it again). I believe this is causing my primary issue which is the assignment of IP addresses on the wireless lan. Specifically, I have DHCP enabled and the range set to 192.168.1.2 to 150 but any device connected is automatically assigned an IP outside of this (ie. my tablet is assigned 192.168.0.204) which means the device cannot see others on the network or the internet. The only way around this is to set static IP's in each device (reserving IP's in the router fails as well) which is an interim solution but not ideal.

Another example is my laptop which was getting assigned 192.168.135.105.

Any one experience this and find a solution?
