[TriLUG] The Case of the insane wifi location

[Wes Garrison via TriLUG]

Is it possible you're using the router as an AP and have the main router
plugged in to the switch ports of the "AP" but forgot to disable DHCP on
the "AP"?

When the clients get DHCP from the Internet connected router, it works
fine, but if they start pulling from the AP it tries to route them through
the WAN interface of the "AP".

Just a thought - I've made that mistake before.
