Thanks for the reply.

Did you survey and join the AP?

-Yes.  Client mode set.  Survey, finds AP CPE and choose 'Lock to AP'

Or did you simply put up the info instead of scanning the AP SSID and joining it?

-No

Do you find information of link speed on the page of the Client CPE?  If there is no link speed, you did not even join the SSID from AP.

-That I do not recall.  I did see tx/rx in graph

You are telling the correct steps but somewhere must be wrong.

And, AP CPE should be connected to a router with DHCP enabled. You can test the AP SSID with your cellphone first.

-Correct.  AP CPE is connected to omada switch which is configured to serve dhcp for that network.  This AP CPE is actually set to dhcp and gets an ip from dhcp.  I was able to connect to point to point ssid from my laptop and get out to the internet.  So the AP CPE is working.  The issue is on the client AP side.  If I connect to lan port in POE injector with my laptop and try to do ipconfig /release  and /renew to get a dhcp address, it is not happening.  The network the AP CPE is on is vlan1 and port is set to ALL profile.  (I do not see a place to set port as either client or trunk explicitly.  On the other side the client AP will just be plugged into an unmanaged switch along with ip cameras.

Also, if I change the client AP to dhcp, it does not pick up dhcp from across the link from AP CPE either.

Other things we have tried (which should be set anyways):  set distance to 1km, set timezone and dst settings.  

It could because time is not updated on client AP cause it has not connected to internet yet.  Will keep that in mind for next visit for troubleshooting.

Will plan on doing normal troubleshooting steps including updating firmware, physical tests, connectivity tests, etc.

Found this doc that outlines troubleshooting too:

There might be a configuration issue causing the DHCP and garage door internet access problems. Have you double-checked the settings and tried troubleshooting each step,

  @jdsn2g Just something to try:  Put the bridge on a subnet that's not part of your network, you may just be having an ip conflict.  Set one of them to something like 192.168.33.250 and the other to 192.168.33.249.  They do not need to be on the same network as the rest of your network.  This also keeps nosy people out of places they don't belong.

  @jdsn2g Have you checked the network settings and configurations on both ends to ensure they match? It might also be worth double-checking any Beflik co firewall or routing settings that could be affecting connectivity.

Have you checked the subnet settings  Lesco Online Bills and DHCP configurations on both ends? Sometimes a small adjustment there can resolve connectivity issues.

Thanks to all the replies.  I was able to resolve after the last troubleshooting session.  I compiled a list of exact steps from the various videos and written documentation and followed that:  Confirmed everything was seated properly, updated firmware, stepped through setup again, and was able to successfully connect.  Was able to see tx/rx from dashboard and confirm connectivity.  Was able to get dhcp to clients and connect to the internet over the ptp connection.  pretty impressive.  getting near full ac throughput at ~100 yards.   

Double-check the network settings and ensure the AP and Client have the same SSID and encryption. Also, make sure the main router’s DHCP server is configured to serve IPs to devices connected through the  PGSharp bridge.

It is like you've covered the basic setup steps correctly. Have you checked the VLAN settings on both CPE710s and the switch? Sometimes VLAN mismatches can cause connectivity issues even if everything else seems configured properly and you can check more about on squishmallowshalloween.
