well yes it will, but so will your tp-link if configured correctly.
steve talked about a dedicated uplink port - does the tp-link have one
of those or are the ports (are there 4?) all the same? actually - you
haven't said what model the tp-link is?

The tp-link needs to be set up to get an IP address via dhcp from
your rta230. That way, all your internet routing will be set up
correctly. If there's a dedicated uplink port on the back of the
wireless router, then plug it into the adsl router.
Then set up your wireless router to either pass through dhcp
requests to the uplink, or to serve a separate subnet to the
wireless links. You may have some fun with the latter if you're
wanting to share between wired/wireless machines.
