Wd-8961N as Access Point - DHCP won't coexist with DSL-224 Internet Router

Probably trivial probelm. I have a new D-Link DSL-224 connected to ADSL line and am trying to use an old TD-w8961N as a wireless access point. DHCP is activated on the D-Link and the TP AP is set to static IP on same subnet but outside of DHCP pool. TP-link was reset to defaults, IP set, DHCP switched off, firewall off. All works OK for a bit, few minutes to maybe an hour, but then the Internet connection is lost on the DSL-224 and the access point will not see the DHCP server and gets assigned a default IP address. Internet reconnects on DSL-224 if the LAN cable between the two is unplugged.
I see there is an entry in the Access Point routing table. Should there be? I don't have access to the equipment right now, but I think it's routing the internal traffic 10.0.0.0 /24. It's driving me mental. Shouldn't be this hard to set up an access point.
