All of the computers must get their TCP/IP configuration from the
first router.

Disable the access point's built-in DHCP server.

If you don't need the second router, remove it from the network and
connect the access point directly to the first router. If you need
the second router (e.g. because the first router only has one LAN
port), then :

1. Connect the first router to a LAN port on the second router, not to
the second router's WAN (Internet) port. You might have to use an
uplink port on one router or a crossover cable to connect the two
routers.

2. Disable the second router's built-in DHCP server.
