Each AP has a default IP address. You can change this with the "web" interface to your AP. MOST IF NOT ALL AP's default to having DHCP server "ON." This means that you may <or Will> have more than one device handing out ways to connect. When you added the AP, you added another way to connect using DHCP. DHCP says: I can help you out if you need to connect. This would normally be a good idea. The bad part is if you have more than one helper on your network, they can f*)2 you. So: if you have a cable/dsl modem that passes out addresses (helpfully) on 192.168.1.x and an AP passing out addresses (helpfully) on 192.168.254.x THEY ARE NOT ON THE SAME NETWORK. They can't talk to each other. See some wiki on DHCP. P -- pski real stereo doesn't just wake the neighbors, it -enrages- them..
