I now tried to connect the readyNAS to the DGND3700 and everything works fine, thanks a lot.
Do you know if there is a way to configure the DGND3700 so that it only works as wifi access point without conflicting with the other router?
There is another approach, which is to move the ethernet cable between the DGND3700 and the "real" router from the WAN input to one of the LAN inputs. If you do this you might want to set up a static address for the DGND3700, otherwise you can't reach the router's web page (unless you switch the cable back).
Though double-routing works too, as long as you hook all your devices up to the DGND3700.
