The 7100AP is a bridge, so the only IP is the web management interface,
which could be configured for the same netblock as the LAN/WLAN, but not
to conflict with any other device. The best way to do that is by DHCP,
especially if the main router can be configured to reserve an IP for
that MAC address. Or you could manually configure it for a different
netblock, but then you'd have to switch the IP to match on whatever PC
you want to use for administration. But there should be little or no
administration once everything is working, so that shouldn't be a big
deal.

Correct, but to do that would take a considerably different setup. As I
wrote before:

With consumer-grade gear you're going to essentially make them all part
of the same network. With business grade gear you could isolate them in
separate network segments/secutity zones.
