Basically you need to set the tp link operating mode to 'Client' mode. You will need to connect it temporarily to a PC via a wired connection to configure it, You will need to set the PC with a static IP address as described in chapter 3 of the manual.
Set the Wireless settings ( page 22 ) to Client mode ( page 27 ) and then search for the DG834g wireless network and enter its SSID and Save. Then go to Wireless security ( page 37 ) and select the correct security fro your DG834g ( most likely WPA/WPA2 ) and enter your wireless key in the PSK passphrase field, Save and reboot the tp link.
Change the PC network settings back to Obtain an IP address automatically and if all is well you should be able to access the internet from the PC connected to the tp link. If that's the case then connect the Sky box to the tp link and you're good to go.
Post back and let us know how that goes. Once we've got it working then we can change the tp links LAN settings so that it can be accessed from a PC connected via the DG834.

Quote I had to enter the ip address manually as 192.168.0.254 and my gateway as 192.168.0.1.
Is that on the Sky box ?
you shouldn't need to enter the address manually if it's all configured properly, it ( the sky box ) should get a 192.168.0.x address and the gateway via DHCP from the DG834g.
With a PC ( configured to Obtain an address automatically ) connected to the Tp-link, what IP address does the PC get ? and can the PC access the internet ?
edit : OR is that the tp link itself you've set to 192.168.0.254 ?

The follwoing assumes your DG834 uses the default subnet 192.168.0.x
With your PC configured for 192.168.1.100 connect to the tplink and change its LAN IP to 192.168.0.200 and reboot. Change your PC address to 192.168.0.100 and check you can connect to the tplink at 192.168.0.200. Now change your PC to use DHCP ( obtain an address automatically ) and check that it gets allocated an IP address by the DG834 in the 192.168.0.x subnet. If thats's ok then check that the PC can access the internet.
Those steps should prove that the tplink is correctly acting as a wireless client.
If all that's ok then connect the sky box , this link here seems to explain how to set it to DHCP http://recombu.com/digital/news/how-to-get-sky-anytime-on-your-skyhd-box_M10241-5.html you just select the menu and then change it.
Lets see how that goes...

Set the PC back to a fixed IP of 192.168.0.100 , with a gateway of 192.168.0.1 and check that you can get internet access when connected to the tp link, that will confirm the wireless is connecting ok to the DG834g. If that's ok , then make sure the gateway address is set to 192.168.0.1 on the tp link and try the PC back to DHCP and check that it can get an IP address.
