I have two routers. One recieved from my inernet provider (AP1), and a second one (AP2). The two routers are placed in opposite corners of my house to widen my WiFi-network. Now the problem. I can't connect two computers with eachother if one is connected to AP1 and the other to AP2. I'm guessing I have to tweek som settings. Any ideas??

Even though you call then AP you like are likely actually using them both as routers. You really only want a single router in your house. You want to run the second one actually as a AP which unless it actually has that feature is mostly a cabling and dhcp setting issue.

Yes they are in the same IP-range. aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd, where aaa and bbb is the same for both. The second router is connected to the first one by wire. If its a dhcp issue, what should the settings be?

It depends if you have cabled it to the lan or the wan port. If you are using the wan port then the device must support AP mode if you used the lan port then you must disable the dhcp on the second device.
