The SB Controller (SBC) and Touch are different network devices, and therefore must have different IP addresses. So if they have the same IP address, that's a problem for sure.
Just to rule out a possible source of the problem, you are using only one router, right? If you have only one router and you are routinely getting IP address conflicts it sounds as if your router is poorly configured. Perhaps its DHCP server is buggy, so the first thing you should do is check to see if there is newer firmware for the router, and if there is, install it. Normally there is a range of addresses that the router can use for DHCP (dynamic addressing). If you set a static IP address on any device (eg, your NAS), then you should specify an address _outside_ the DHCP range. You can set a true static IP address on the Touch by logging into the Touch remotely via ssh and creating/editing a file, but I think it's better that you tackle the problem at the source, which appears to be your router. Alternatively you may be able to change your router settings to reserve a particular IP address for your touch (the so-called "static DHCP").
