If the second AP has a 'bridging mode' which would allow it to bridge via wireless to the first AP, that is what you apparently need.
http://tinyurl.com/9eohr The second graphic on this page perfectly portrays my topology except that there's only a single machine connected to the secondary AP. According to this page, "it probably won't work" - but a little further down, a post states that "some AP's can be configured to act as a repeater or wireless bridge, but it's fairly rare." It that's true, there doesn't seem to be any way of configuring this D-Link to be a wireless bridge or repeater, unless I'm missing something in the translation...
----- make sure that you've installed the latest firmware updates on the D-Link AP - perhaps they've added features since the device left the factory.
I am presuming that it is the D-Link that you wish to put into a 'bridging' mode - that is, wirelessly connect to another AP.
There is hardware to do that - but that doesn't mean that your device is capable of it or not capable of it. I simply don't know.
I believe that their DWL-G710 Wireless Range Extender can do what you want...
