This last part appears to be the issue. He turned off DHCP on the
router and probably has his pc on automatic. The AP is (correctly)
acting as a switch only and the PC gets it's IP address assigned by
the WISP router through their installed client adapter.

PC-)-)-)-) AP/Switch ---> Client Adapter -)-)-)-)-)WISP Router

The problem is that the administration address (LAN address) of the
router is likely set for a different subnet than what the WISP's
router is handing out to the PC. No big deal. I see various ways to
get around it:

1)Temporarily assign an IP to PC in router subnet to access
router...OR....
2) Turn on DHCP temporarily (I suggested reset above) and then
disconnect from internet, allowing you to get addy in router's
subnet ....OR....
3) Perhaps best of all, now that I think of it, is to use the ipconfig/
all command note the address given by wisp to PC as well as the
gateway.
Then by method 1 or 2 above, go into router's administration and
change it's a LAN address to something within the WISP subnet, but
hopefully out of it's DHCP range. Now he can go in (by cable
preferably) and tweak the "router" all he wants using the
automatically assigned IP address from the WISP.

I guess the problem with number 3 is knowing what's out of the WISP
router's DHCP range.
