Does not connect to internet in client mode

Hi All,
I want to set my TL router up in client mode to allow a small cluster of Raspberry Pi's to access the internet. When I set up my network as a 10.42.42.0 and connect the home router via WIFI (home network router is 192.168.1.254) the Pi's cannot see the internet...or at least ipv4 addresses do not seem to work. But if I set my TL router to use addresses in the same range (eg give the TL router an address of 192.168.1.1) then it all works fine. The pi's get their addresses from the TL router DHCP service. I would like to keep my Pi network separate from the home network apart from the ability to route to internet but it does not seem to be possible. Could it be something to with the way I am setting up gateway or DNS attributes on the DHCP service? I have seen a few other similar threads but nothing seems to help. Any suggestions welcome!
Thanks :-)
Basically you want to use a router which connects wirelessly to your main router but by wire to the RPi cluster, while keep these in different subnets, right ?
Have you tried the Hotspot Mode (WISP Mode) of your TL-WR902AC:
or in TL-WR844N/TL-WR820N user guide is described like this:
Here's a guide on how to configure TL-WR902AC in Hotspot (WISP) mode. Give it a try and check if that suit your needs.
