The new AP is 12 volt DC. The Dlink is 5 VDC. The plug is the same. The use the same power plug No idea if the new AP will power up on 5 volts, but if it did the operation might be sporadic. I am not saying this is your problem, but it is something to check. Also, if you are using a wall supply, make sure it is rated for the current required for the AP. The 12 volt 2A output on the VRM should work.

You set the DHCP ip assignment range on the DHCP configuration page. I forget exactly where that is, but I found it clicking around AP's web page. Sorry I cannot be more specific but my teams AP is in the lab and I am not. The AP appends a .lan on the local MDS names. The driver station doesn't seem to have an issue with that though. On the driver station settings screen, click the down arrow by the team number and see if your robot's MDNS name appears there.

An aside, the 2016s RoboRio MDNS name will be of the form roborio-TEAM-frc rather than the current roborio-TEAM.
