Don't connect the access point to the router.
Wire your laptop to the AP's LAN ports
Then i'd follow the previous poster. Disable the DHCP of the AP.

You'll run into trouble if you have two DHCP server, especially since
they both will use the same address. All linksys devices tend to use
192.168.1.1 and you can't have duplicates.

With the router handing out DHCP and the AP just bridging you should
be good.
