make sure that you've installed the latest firmware updates on the
D-Link AP - perhaps they've added features since the device left the
factory.

I am presuming that it is the D-Link that you wish to put into a
'bridging' mode - that is, wirelessly connect to another AP.

There is hardware to do that - but that doesn't mean that your device is
capable of it or not capable of it. I simply don't know.

I believe that their DWL-G710 Wireless Range Extender can do what you
want...
