I have a switch coming off of modem and wired my existing wifi router to one part of house and wired new Engenius access point to other part of house. I can't configure new access point correctly. I feel like I'm getting the IP or subnet mask wrong and don't want to conflict with existing router/network. Any help would be appreciated.
 
Solution
why is there a switch between the modem and the router?

the AP needs to connect directly to the router and not to the switch.

this should work:

Modem -> router -> switch -> AP
