trouble setting up two routers together

[NoodleTech]

I am setting up a verizon fios router (actiontec MI424WR) and a PePwave officepoint 400 access point.

The access point will be for public wifi access, so I want to segregate it from the rest of the network. The access point has a "router mode" which I think achieves what I want. The problem is, when I try to configure the AP for router mode, it won't give IP's out to wireless clients. I can connect to the AP wirelessly, but I won't have an IP and cannot use the internet.

My router is on the 192.168.1.x subnet. I set my AP to 192.168.0.x subnet.

Here are the settings I am using for the AP (copied straight from the AP's administrative interface):
LAN IP: 192.168.1.5 (I am assuming this is the AP's WAN IP. For some reason when I check my router, it says my AP's IP is 192.168.1.6 despite me setting this to 192.168.1.5.)
LAN Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
DHCP Server: Enabled (I think this is the AP's DHCP server)
IP Start Range: 192.168.0.100
IP Stop Range: 192.168.0.200
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Broadcast Address: 192.168.0.255
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
DNS 1: 192.168.1.1

Anybody know the cause of the problem here? Thanks in advance.

I checked out the product specifications for your PePwave officepoint 400 and I didn't see any references to a router mode or DHCP. That doesn't mean it doesn't have the functionality, I just didn't see any information from the manufacturer regarding the issue. Generally, APs don't have DHCP functionality though.

If you have your AP on 192.168.0.x why is its IP 192.168.1.5?

I want the wireless clients to be on the 192.168.0.x subnet. The AP itself will be connected to one of the ports of the router (which is giving out 192.168.1.x IP's). The settings you see in my OP are copied straight from the PePwave control panel and there is a DHCP Server option with choices to enable or disable it.

have you looked in the manual to verify what the DHCP option actually means?
I personally have never seen an AP with a DHCP server; they just relay DHCP info to/from the main router.

Pepwave's website blows, and doesn't have diddly for info.
