How do you set up a wireless router to allow wireless computers to get their IP addresses from a different DHCP server?

The wireless router’s NAT firewall is properly blocking the broadcast of DHCP requests to the WAN side of the router where other DHCP servers are located. If you don’t really need to have your wireless clients on their own private network created by the wireless router, you can convert the router to operate as an Access Point. This will remove the blockage caused by its firewall. See this FAQ for the how-to.
