Are all the AP's actually AP's or are they wireless routers acting as AP's?
The latter is fine but you have to plug into a LAN port not it's WAN port.
(sorry if you know this but something doesn't sound right)
Also are all AP's using the same SSID and encryption info? The only thing
that should be different about each AP is the IP address and wireless
channel (make sure they are not all on the same channel.)

Your network should look like this

Internet Modem to WAN of Internet Router/AP1 with DHCP enabled, from it's
LAN port 1-4 (if applicable) to each of the 4 other AP's setup with static
addresses outside of the DHCP range of Router/AP1.
With this setup all wireless devices that associate with any of the AP's
will receive a DHCP lease from the internet router and all non lan traffic
with be routed to the internet via it's default gateway.

I would setup like this
router/AP - 192.168.1.254, DHCP 192.168.1.100-199
AP1-4 - 192.169.1.201-204.
