Can the DWL-2100AP connect 2 wired clients to a DI-624?

I have a D-Link DI-624 wireless router on the first floor. I want to connect a Tivo and a PC upstairs using the DWL-2100AP. I also have a DSS-5+ switch.

I tried putting the DWL-2100AP in every mode and nothing works as follows:

Access Point mode: Supposedly only works with another DWL-2100AP; so far that appears to be true. WDS with AP: The AP appears to join the wireless network but the neither connected device can get an IP. WDS: Same as above. Repeater: Seems to work as a repeater, but again, any device plugged in does not get an IP. AP Client: First device connected gets an IP. Second does not.

Does anyone know if there is a way to make this work? I know I can buy another DWL-2100AP and it will probably work, but it seems silly to connect a wireless AP to a wireless router.

Thanks ahead of time for any responses!
