To add to what michaelkenward said, I like to set a static IP address on the AP. That way you know rather then trying to figure out what the IP address is if you want to manage the AP. I normally used 192.168.1.2. Just make sure when doing this that you add the net mask, normally 255.255.255.0 and for gateway use the router's IP address. Of course this would be different if the router is on another IP address range, but the principle is the same.
