Maybe it's a broadcast problem or something? Try with manual IPs and
then first run unicast ping separetely both from the client and the AP,
for example:

ping 192.168.5.1

If that works run broadcast ping separetely both from the client and the AP:

ping -b 192.168.1.255

Most likely you need to enable broadcast ping replies to get any answers:

echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts

And if MacOS doesn't support broadcast pings install a real operating
system ;)
