However, with it being your home LAN, I don't know how big/complex it is, or whether you can't just check each device manually faster.

I only have under two hand fulls of IP capable devices.  The Airport gives out from 10.0.1.2 to 10.0.1.50.  I'm probably going to do it by hand.  I think I know what I would have given a static IP.  I just can't believe it was something stupid like that but I do believe that it just hit me out of the blue what was wrong.
