I question your VLAN and "separate IP assignment" for the ZD.
Is there a DHCP server on the VLAN? Can you reserve some IPs, and one for the ZD?
Factory defaulting the ZD, will return it to 192.168.0.2, so setup your PC with 192.168.0.x and connect directly to either Eth port to assign the reserved IP/mask/gw.
When you reconnect your ZD to the network, move your PC to a switch port, and set it back for DHCP.
Does your PC get a DHCP from the same network you expect, and assigned to the ZD?
Can you ping the ZD now...?
Do the APs appear now...?
