Not sure if this is possibel but;

Is it possibel to have different wireless setups for different locations, without an entire new user profile?

To explain better I have someone that 99% of time will need to have a "standard" wireless connection (DHCP / DNS etc), but in one location, they need to have a Static IP address.Is it possible to set these for just this one SSID / location?

I hope someone more intelligent than I comes here and tells you how to do it, but a workaround to me would be a batch or Autoit script that does it for them.

Does the user have trouble getting the Static routes in or is it just the hassle of doing it that is leading to the question?

You could use the Alternate Configuration tab from the Network Controller Settings to specify a secondary static configuration for use when DHCP is not available.
