4 quick questions:

1. Why do you want to use a separate router to begin with? With the D-Link in AP mode you can connect directly to it with the laptops wireless card and thus connect directly to the robot no need for additional hardware.

2. Do you mean that the router "will not" connect to the bridge?

Assuming that you did in fact mean "will not"...

3. It seems like you should have to connect to your bridge to a specific SSID that matches the one being broadcast by your router as well as any associated security measures.

4. Is the IP address that you selected for your bridge within the values on the settings on your router? The settings that you may need to check are on the router that you are using. If the IP address that you selected for your bridge aren't within the range of values set by your router. If those mismatch, it will not connect

As a side note, if for some reason, it's different bandwidths that's causing the issue... ie your laptop doesn't support Wireless N, which is probably why you'd bother to use a different router to begin with. The D-Link can be set to broadcast a,b, and g as well. Then you should have no issues connecting it in AP mode.
