    Right. I've got this

    DSL Router with these things connected:
    - device1 by cable
    - device2 by cable
    - wlan access point by cable

    DSL router (IP 192.168.0.1)
    - DHCP activated
    - Range 192.168.0.2 to .254
    - Subnet 25.255.255.0

    wlan access point (IP 192.168.0.100)
    - DHCP disabled
    - Default gateway 192.168.0.1

    I can connect to both router and access point via wired connection without issue. They all appear to be on the same network. The problem is that wifi doesn't seem to be working. Should the router DHCP carry over to the devices which connect to the access point or should I have DHCP on that too?

    Thanks

    No, don't enable DHCP on the second router.

    Check which port on the 2nd router is used to connect to the 1st router. It needs to be one of the LAN ports.
    You may need to enter the ISP details in the router. PPPoE and login details etc.

    Basicly, set it up as if its the only router you use but without DHCP.

    This works on D-Link. Yours may be different.

    Everything works except devices hooked up to the access point via wifi.
