Yes, it does, but I don't know how that is relevant. It's a bad setup,
but common.

This suggests that you might have connected this router to the main one

correctly. In that case, the Android device might get a DHCP answer

I find this a little perplexing. How else can this router be attached to
the main one except by using a LAN port? It is in fact connected to
port 4. Here is the main router (gateway)'s report of its status:
I was referring to the Trendnet. Which port on that device are you
using to connect to the main router?
Suggestions:
Turn off the DHCP server (and DNS if possible) on this new router. If
possible, set the router to get a DHCP address on the LAN side. If you
can't, then set a static address so that you can access it in future.
Connect this router to your existing network using the LAN port. This
should make things work the way you want.
I find this also perplexing. I think you're advising me that the best
thing is to use the secondary router (Trend) as a hub and let all name
resolution etc. be done by the main router (Gateway). This is certainly
desirable; but I don't think it's possible. Also, I think you mean that
the "static address" you refer to is a the address of Trend as set by
Gateway. In fact, Gateway has an infinite lease time, so this should
happen by default.
I don't think I've come across a router that doesn't let you do this. I
downloaded the manual for your router and the setting is in
Advanced->Setup->LAN Setting. Disable the DHCP server. Also in there,
change the IP address to one that is available on your main network
since it doesn't appear to accept being a DHCP client on the LAN side.
Make sure it's not in the range used by the DHCP pool on your main
network. After applying that, connect the Trendnet router to your
network using one of the LAN ports on the Trendnet router.
