Specific question on extending subnet on Microsoft DHCP server.

Currently running Server 2012 R2, need to extend on our subnet.  I've found several posts and docs on this, not many touch on adjustments for other devices or servers on the network.

Current IP subnet is 192.168.0.x

I'm looking at following this, will add 255 IP addresses:
https://devget.net/windows/how-to-increase-scope-change-netmask-in-windows-server-2012/

My static IP devices on the network, they will need to have 255.255.254.0 as their subnet mask, correct?  If they aren't updated, they just wouldn't see the second range of IP's at 192.168.1.x?

Routing shouldn't be an issue, correct?  The subnet makes sure the two IP ranges can see each other?

Our firewall IP is 192.168.0.1, any machines that get an IP in the 192.168.1.x subnet wouldn't have issues going out the 192.168.0.1 GW, correct?

Thanks!
