Can't access the internet in client mode

Region : UnitedKingdom
Model : TL-WR702N
Hardware Version : V1
Firmware Version : 4.18.114 Build 130314 Rel.39604n
ISP :
Hi there,
I've setup my nano router in client mode and successfully connected it to my existing wireless network by manually setting it's IP address to 192.168.1.2. The existing router has the IP address 192.168.1.1.
I know this has worked as I'm able to access the web management page from any computer in the house by visiting the IP address 192.168.1.2. So far so good.
However, my problem is that the nano router cannot speak to the internet. If I login to the web management page and go to diagnostics, I can ping every other device on the network fine, but I can't ping anything outside the network (e.g. 8.8.8.8 or http://www.google.co.uk).
I've tried in vain to get this setup correctly, all I can assume is that the nano router isn't correctly determining that the existing router (192.168.1.1) is where it should be routing all external requests and they're just getting lost, but there's no configuration for that on the web management pages.
Thanks for any help!
Nick

Solution:
It turns out the solution, at least for me anyway, was to change the 'WDS mode' on the TL-WR702N to use ' 3 Addr' mode rather than ' Auto'.
Hope this helps!

Set Up TP LINK TL-WR702N in Client Mode with BT HomeHub

I spent almost a day trying to figure out how to do it, and I just couldn't find a complete guide anywhere, which is why I feel like there will be others who will find this useful:
Go to: Network > Lan
[*] Address Type: Static IP
[*] IP Address: 192.168.1.15 (outside IP range of home hub)
[*] Save and reboot
[*]Go to: DHCP > DHCP Settings
DHCP server: enable
[*] Start ip: 192.168.1.100
[*] End ip: 192.168.1.199 (these are within range of home hub)
[*] Default gateway: 192.168.1.254 (home hub address)
[*] Primary dns: 8.8.8.8 (google)
[*] Secondary dns: 208.67.222.222 (open dns)
[*] Save (no reboot)
[*]Go to: Network > Lan
Address Type: Smart IP
[*] Save and reboot
[*]Go to: Quick setup:
Select Client
[*] Save
[*] Click Survey
[*] Select the Wifi you want to connect to
[*] Enter Wifi password
[*] Next
[*] Reboot
Go to: Network > Lan
