Oddly enough, I never had problems with the DHCP on the wireless router itself (same model as yours). One thing I did find strange was that it wouldn't pass DHCP to any other brand of WAP except DLink. When I'd plug my Netgear WAP into it, it would give the WAP an IP, but DHCP wouldn't pass through it to the WNICs. Similarly, if I put one of my Linksys routers, switches, or hubs under it, the router would get DHCP, the 10/100 clients would get DHCP, but no non-DLink WAPs would be able to pass DHCP through them. I ended up putting that router under a Linksys 4pt router with the Netgear WAP under the linksys as well, with DHCP being provided by my Linksys box. It works fine that way. Since my other WAN line goes to a different WAP altogether, I'm not even bothering with it right now (don't break something trying to fix it and all that).

What pisses me off about DLink is that they advertise their product to do one thing (even on the box and in the manual), but when you can't make it work, you have to contact Tech Support for the truth (like the convenient fact that the 900AP+ only will bridge or serve as a WAP for other 900AP+ units or 614+ units). I bought the thing ony to find that it was useless, making me buy the 614+ to be able to use it (somewhat).
