Wireless Access Point/DSL modem separated from LAN

I have a dsl modem connected to wan port on router 1, lan ports on
router 1 connected to 8-port switch/hub and to wap. This give internet
access to all computers on lan.
I would like to connect router 2 wan port to lan port on router 1 and
lan port to switch, connect router 1 lan ports only to wap and wan port
on router 2 so as to enable internet access to all on lan but allow wap
  access only to internet and not to lan.
When I test, one computer can connect wirelessly to internet through
wan, connects to lan via ethernet. But the other wired computers on lan
cannot see internet. Do I have settings wrong or is my wiring incorrect.
DHCP is off on both routers, modem to ppoe dynamic addressing.

Lets see if this will work:

DSL
|
Router 1 with IP address 192.168.1.1
|         |
|      Access Point 192.168.1.2 feeding wireless network with 192.168.1.xxx
|
Router 2 with IP address 192.168.2.1
|
Wired Network using 192.168.2.xxx

Note that the IP address of the two LANs are different 192.168.1.xxx vs.
192.168.2.xxx. Also how the two routers are set up is different, only router
1 would be setup to use PPOE dynamic addressing, router two would not use
PPOE, just dynamic addressing (it would be setup to use DHCP client mode)
the WAN port of router two would have an IP address in routers 1
192.168.1.xxx space.

Thanks for the quick reply, I probably won't be able to test until
evening or tomorrow. Couple of quick questions.

I have ppoe on the dsl modem so cannot also have it on router 1. Do I
need to reverse this?

setup to use DHCP

Do I need dhcp on router 2, at present it connects on LAN ports to two
static devices. DHCP options, if needed, are DHCP server and static
DHCP. Static would be dhcp client? Otherwise I will set static on router
2 WAN ip 198.168.1.xxx, gateway 192.168.1.1 (address of router 1). Correct?

Jack has an excellent page here; http://www.ezlan.net/shield.html

The first router (Jack's Front Router) the closest to the DSL/Modem remains
the same. You do not change it's internal configuration in any way.  The
second router (Jack's Shield Router) wan port would be set to static so if
the first (front) router's lan ports are 192.168.1.xxx and it's IP address
is 192.168.1.1 the second (shield) router's wan port is set to 192.168.1.2
and a netmask of 255.255.255.0 then DNS server would be 192.168.1.1. The
second (shield) router's lan ports would be set to 192.168.2.1. Clients
connected to the second (shield) router would get an IP address in
192.168.2.xxx space, have a Gateway address of 192.168.2.1 and a DNS server
of 192.168.2.1 and a netmask of 255.255.255.0 Your access point would be set
to 192.168.1.3 and connected to the first (front) router. Wireless clients
connected to the access point would get an IP address in 192.168.1.xxx
space, a DNS server address of 192.168.1.1 and a gateway address of
192.168.1.1

No you don't need DHCP anywhere, I do believe when you are setting something
like this it's helpful to enable DHCP to check what the settings should be.
I believe you can use my numbers above and it should work for you, without
the hassle of enabling DHCP and then disabling it again. Router two will
have two IP addresses the WAN port will be configured the same as any client
connected to router 1. Hope that helps.

I will have to go back tomorrow and recheck my settings, it is not
working right now. Might I need a crossover cable? I will also review
Jack's page. Being drug off to Christmas shop now.

No, I don't believe it's likely that you would. But most routers have LEDs
that show when they are connected, it should be simple to tell if you have a
connection or not. Posting your values here would help, perhaps.

My options in WAN tab of router 2, the LAN router (D-Link DI624)
IP Address 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
ISP Gateway Address 192.168.1.1
MAC Address
Primary DNS Address (should I use 192.168.1.1 here?)
Secondary DNS Address
MTU

With Router 1, the internet router (Linksys BEFSR41)
192.168.1.1

Still not working. LAN addresses at present 192.168.254.xxx, if that
makes a difference. Where am I going wrong? Led's both routers show
connection.

Ok I made an assumption about how your network was configured that I
shouldn't have made. Sorry for that. Can you give me the IP address for the
LAN ports of your cable/dsl modem, and the BEFSR41 LAN port. I take it that
the LAN port of the DI624 is set to 192.168.254.1?

Thanks

OK, think I typoed the gateway and dns setting on my computer, got it
working finally. I may have a bad wiring connection on my wired network,
lost everything while switching wires so I will have to work on that part.
Thanks for all the help
Bob

Okay, dummy here. I figured out why I couldn't get second computer on
line, Zone Alarm. I reset it so second computer is in trusted zone, all
working now.
Thanks again for getting me up and running.
