Westell 7500 can not see AP wnr834bv2

I had a nice home network consisting of a WGR614v5 in one place, powered by a 660 modem and a WNR834bv2 configured as an AP in a more convenient location to provide wireless connectivity to my wife and my laptop.  I could access both routers to change the configuration options (turn wireless switch) by their IPS (192.168.1.1 & 192.168.1.200 respectively).

Then "lightning" stuck nearby and pulled the 660 modem and WGR614v5 router.  My provider was willing to replace them, but with a Westell 75002207 wireless modem/router combo.  The installation went well except, this unit converts all IP addresses, attached in 10.0.0.X.  The only device, it doesn't have to be converted was WNR834bv2 AP and it's because, I guess, he could not "see."  No matter how many times the new router 'scans', he never finds 192.168.1.200 (WNR834bv2).

Because I, I can access is no longer (when you go away, I usually turn wireless off) by it of IP address of origin, even isolated from the rest of the network, or no matter what other 10.0.0.x I try within the new range of routers DHCP.

Can someone help me understand why this is happening?  And by the way, the WNR834bv2 works yet it's wireless and wired functions perfectly well, I just can't get it.

Yes, the problem is that (most likely the new main router) DHCP server is the allocation of units 10.x.x.x who cannot communicate with address 192.168.1.200.  To work around the problem of IP address, you need to set a static IP address on the device.  Simply plug wireless access point won't be enough in most cases.  Whenever I have install an access point, I always disabled the DHCP protocol to the access point in order to avoid any potential conflict.  In some cases, might manually configure the router DHCP pool and the access point to prevent its contradictory.  However, according labels what Netgear unit, I suspect you are routers in Garland instead of a router and an access point.

The bottom of this document details how to set a static IP address in Windows XP.  Set the static IP address for 192.168.1.201 (No 192.168.1.200 as argued already) with the subnet mask that uses 192.168.1.200 (default should be 255.255.255.0).  Once the PC has a static address that works with the 192.168.1.200/255.255.255.0 access point, you should be able to access it, and then make the necessary changes.  Alternatively, you can change the new router to issue addresses in the 192.168.1.X/255.255.255.0 range, and it should work as it did before.
