That's the reason you assign them outside the DHCP server pool.
If your router's DHCP server is assigning addresses in the 192.168.1.2 through 192.168.1.100 for instance, you can manually assign addresses from 192.168.1.101 through 192.168.1.254 and not conflict with automatically assigned IP addresses. For the manually assigned IP addresses, you would use a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, and your default gateway and DNS address would be 192.168.1.1 in the network depicted in your diagram.
