Don't use the WAN port on the D-LINK. What you should have bought was a
wireless access point, not a router. If you can return it, do so. If not, do
the following:

disable DHCP boot on the dlink
assign a dummy address to the wan port
assign a good address to the lan side.
connect the lan side of the firewall to the lan side of the dlink

Good luck,
Bob
