Jack has an excellent page here;

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.
