One issue is you have two DHCP servers on your network. You need to turn off one of the DHCP
servers. I suggest you turn off the access point DHCP server and let all the wireless clients get
their IP from the router, which I presume is the front-end to your broadband ISP, correct?

I ran a similar network awhile back. I disabled the DHCP server on my Buffalo WBR-G54 and used it as
a wireless access point and switch. My old Linksys BEFSR41 router was my local DHCP server and
front-end to my cable broadband service...In my case I assigned a static IP to the Buffalo LAN
interface in the same address range as the Linksys router LAN interface...

Similarly, I had an old ORiNOCO RG-1000 wireless access point and simply turned off NAT and the
built-in DHCP server. My wireless clients got IP addresses from the Linksys router.

I now use the Buffalo WBR-G54 as my only broadband router and wireless access point....
