Setting up WRT150 N as Access Point on Business Network

Hi, I have a small business and IT guy is on vacation for a few weeks.  We have a LAN network as well as a wireless router in the office.  We have one LAN port in our warehouse, but instead of running 200 ft of cable to the area where I need a connection, I wanted to use that port to hook up a WRT150 N Home Router as an access point to set-up wireless downstairs.  I have reset the router, but when I hook it up to a PC downstairs, I cannot even get a LAN internet connection.  I have shut everything down and rebooted, but nothing.  Our main router (WRV54G) is connected to the address 192.168.1.1.  I'm not sure how to install the wireless on the WRT150N if I can't get an internet connection at all, and then how do I change it to an access point.  I need to get this up soon otherwise I would wait for my IT guy to come back.  Any assistance is much appreciated, thanks.

Change LAN IP address from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.2. Disable DHCP server. Then connect a LAN port of the WRT150 to your network.
