The AP does have an ethernet port which is how it is connected to the switch. Does this help me at all?

EDIT: the way I have it connected at the moment seems to be exactly what you are suggesting but I dont think the AP can be an upstream DHCP client and a downstream DHCP server at the same time.

SWW, thanks for the clarification on routers vs switches
