Some problems with wireless access point.

Not sure what the problem is but for some reason, there is no internet access for the devices that connect wirelessly. However, one of my computers on the network as well as the xbox which is directly connected to the router, works fine.

I don't have a lot of experience with networking but it seems to have 'timed out'. If I reset the router, it'll work for a few minutes but wireless devices will then stop having internet access. During this time, when I try to access the router with my computer, the page will not load up.

Any suggestions?
 
Please explain your network setup like what devices you have modem, router, access points, switches. My guess is that you have 2 dhcp servers and one needs to be disabled.
 
I have two routers in my house. Pretty much every device is connected to the first router and that router (which is acting as my access point) is connected to the second router. The 2nd router is connected to the modem.

Yeah, I've setup the first router correctly. DHCP server is disabled and I've changed the IP address so that it would work with the second router.

Oddly enough, there wasn't a problem until one of my siblings bought a new laptop and from there, things weren't working very consistently.
