Also, if I change turn off the DHCP in this WRT150N router, the subnet mask would need to be 255.255.255.224 but what would the default gateway need to be?

The gateway is the ASA 5500.

It is the next five IP addresses that are unassigned, or unused, that are available for devices such as WAPs. Therefore the next five IP addresses for your ASA 5505 are these.
10.217.12.256
10.217.12.257
10.217.12.258
10.217.12.259
10.217.12.260

Better known as Power over Ethernet or PoE.

The Linksys WRT150N is not IEEE 802.af compliant. That is the bad news. The good news is that Linksys has a PoE adapter, model WAPPOE12, for just your situation. A quick search on the internet has it priced at $38.99 at Newegg.com (This is not an endorsement.). I am sure you can find it elsewhere.

EDIT: As a side note the Linksys PoE converts 120v AC to 48v DC at the injector (the standard voltage for IEEE 802.af compliant devices). The adapter at the WAP end further transforms the 48 volts to 12 volts. Any PoE adapter will work as long as the resulting power at the WAP for the Linksys WRT150N is 12 volts.

Adding to Russell's post it is the ASA. 10.217.12.255 for your device.

Those aren't valid IP addresses, hence jworth's confusion.

If I understand the pattern correctly the next five IP would be:
10.217.13.0
10.217.13.1
10.217.13.2
10.217.13.3
10.217.13.4

But I'd check to make sure it didn't go outside the subnet mask.

Sorry, I forgot the last available 24 bit Block number is 255. Russell is right, the third number would increment after the fourth number reaches 255 and the fourth number would start over at 0.

I thought the last three-digit value in the IP string ended with 256.
