I have a wifi access point set up with a different name as the original router, and a 192.168.1.1 IP address, whereas the original router has a 192.168.0.1 IP address. Do I have to still change the access point IP? Or will things be fine?
 
Solution
Technically it will still work but they should both be on the same subnet. Change the IP of the AP to 192.168.0.2 if that is outside the DHCP scope. Also ensure the router and the AP are broadcasting on different channels.
