As HPSauce says , WDS has its problems...
You will reduce the throughput on the wireless drastically ( especially with 4 AP's ) . Each pair of AP's will reduce the throughput by 50%!!
WDS doesnt work very well ( if at all! ) between different manufacturers kit. Hence wire the first AP to the Thomson and disable its wireless.
I've had SOME success with WDS using Buffalo AP's but flashed with DD-WRT software ( better WDS support). You might wan't to check out DD-WRT for the WG602.
Good luck , you'll need it!

I don't know what the DD-WRT is, but it sounds like that's what I want, so I shall look into it. Thanks guys for all your help, it's been invaluable.

Quote I don't know what the DD-WRT is
DD-WRT is an alternative GPL firmware for many routers. Try here http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv3/index.php
