the manual for your router and the setting is in Advanced->Setup->LAN Setting.
Disable the DHCP server. Also in there, change the IP address to one that is
available on your main network since it doesn't appear to accept being a DHCP
client on the LAN side. Make sure it's not in the range used by the DHCP pool on
your main network. After applying that, connect the Trendnet router to your
network using one of the LAN ports on the Trendnet router.
FWIW, I had problems with this setup and a D-Link router a while back. It was happy
with the manually assigned LAN address and devices connected to the other LAN ports
were able to get their configuration information from the main router via DHCP. The
problem was with the wireless devices. They couldn't obtain their configuration
information via DHCP from a server external to the D-Link router.
