@Geno, I cannot edit the IP addresses the way I want to do them. I need to change the 1 in my Linksys IPs to a 0. The utility doesn't seem to allow for that. It only allows for editing the last of the four numbers in an IP.
I'd be willing to bet that if you changed the IP address of the Linksys router's interface to 192.168.0.1 -- immediately after which you'd lose access to it -- and then set your system's IP address to 192.168.0.x, you'd be able to access it and set the DHCP pool correctly.

Yes, but sadly I can't. If it is possible, I'd like to know where that option exists because as it is, the first three numbers in the IP address aren't changeable, only the fourth one. So right now I am stuck with 192.168.1.x

Re: Turning My Secondary WiFi Router Into A Repeater
Your last attachment leads me to believe otherwise. The "IP Address" field looks editable to me.

Okay, I changed that one to a 0 from a 1 but the Netgear still isn't acting as a repeater, it's visible on the network but not connectable wirelessly.

this is 100% correct
Have you tried to hard code an IP Address using the same subnet as the repeater? Try that also try turning off DHCP on the repeater and setup some static internal ip addresses you can even try a different subnet like 255.255.255.248
