You first have to connect the Access Point to a single computer in order to configure it to be compatible with your current Network.

1. The AP IP address has to be on the same band as your Wired Router.

2. If the main Router is doing DHCP you have to disable DHCP on the Access Ppoint.

The general idea of the AP IP setting can be inferred from this page.
