1.  Change the first DWL-900AP+ from AP mode to Bridge
Mode *OR* change the end point from bridge mode to 
client mode.  In bridge mode, you can bridge 31 devices
per radio.  In AP mode, you're limited to one per client
mode radio.
2.  Make sure that the MAC addresses for the other end of
bridge are the MAC address of the next hop, and not the
endpoint.  In effect, you have two bridges connected to
each other.
3.  All the Dlink radios to find their own speed.  They
will start at 22Mbits/sec and drop as required by interference,
S/N ratio, collisions, and delays.  
4.  Repeater mode sucks.  Your thruput will be half what
could be achieved with a direct shot because the repeater
has to store and forward each packet.
