TD-W8980 as access point, DHCP not being "relayed"
Model :
Hardware Version : Not Clear

Hi,
I cannot get this router connected as an access point to another router, while I think I'm doing the right steps. This is the explanation:
→ What I had:
Internet ----> ZTE F660 (192.168.1.1, WIFI disabled, DHCP enabled) <----WAN/LAN port----> TP-W8980 (192.168.1.2, WIFI enabled, DHCP enabled, LAN IP 192.168.10.1)
Then all my wifi-devices connected to the TP-W8980, got addresses within 192.168.10.1 and had connection to internet.
BUT now I want that my wifi-devices connect to the same network as my non-wifi devices, which are connected to the ZTE (meaning that I want the DHCP from the ZTE to provide all the IPs)
→ What I have tried:
Internet ----> ZTE F660 (192.168.1.1, WIFI disabled, DHCP enabled) <----WAN/LAN port----> TP-W8980 (192.168.1.2, WIFI enabled, DHCP disabled, LAN IP 192.168.10.1)
or
Internet ----> ZTE F660 (192.168.1.1, WIFI disabled, DHCP enabled) <----WAN/LAN port----> TP-W8980 (192.168.1.2, WIFI enabled, DHCP relay (ip:192.168.1.1), LAN IP 192.168.10.1)
or
Internet ----> ZTE F660 (192.168.1.1, WIFI disabled, DHCP enabled) <----LAN port----> TP-W8980 (192.168.1.2, WIFI enabled, DHCP disabled, LAN IP 192.168.10.1)
What I have is my wifi devices not getting any IP address at all.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
