   Notice that in your configuration your device does not request an IP. It   
   just uses that IP straight away, no matter if it has been given by DHCP   
   to another machine by chance. What happens? Collisions. None works.   
      
   Notice also that the AP does not hand out addresses. That's the job of   
   the router.
