Cisco 140AC access points and ioGear GWU637 Ethernet to WiFi

Our building has four Cisco 140AC wireless access points. I have some test instruments with wired ethernet that I would like to connect over WiFi using ioGear GWU637 ethernet to WiFi adapters. The problem is that the 140AC will not forward DHCP acknowledge so the devices can configure their IP addresses. I can manually set the IP addresses and everything works. Is there some setting I can change in the AP interface to fix this? These adapters work fine with my Netgear wireless router at home, so I know it's the Cisco APs that are the problem.

it is not a problem it is expected behavior, 

you can try to configure the ioGear device to accept DHCP address from the Cisco AP (as WAN interface)
and provide it's own DHCP service to the TI device on the LAN interface
the IOgear need tto do routing and NAT between the two networks

the other option is to configure the Cisco-ioGear connection as wireless bridge,
but wireless bridge between two different vendors can be problematic as vendors implement this protocol differently
you will find many problems with on the fora when mixing vendors
