Disable DHCP on the N router, and don't use it as a router at all. Leave the WAN port unused. Assign it an unused LAN-side IP address in the 192.168.1.x subnet for management. Plug everything into the LAN-side ports. That puts everything on the same subnet and all served by your (presumably) existing DHCP server. You can't find consumer/SOHO access points only anymore, only "routers", so that's what I did on my DIR-655. As a side note, I've been able to push 220mbit/s through that device with an Intel 5300 wireless card using two 20MHz channels. Impressive IMO.
