I have btinternet in the house but want to connect the d-link dsl-2640r to boost the wireless signal in area of the house that the bt hub does not reach. as such want to connect the d-link via ethernet cable and use a wireless hub to connect to bthub.

BTInternet (Assuming this is a wireless cable router) -> cable run to DLink (1 of the 4 Ethernet ports) -> wireless in garage
That should work. I would suggest turning off DHCP in the DLink as long as whatever BTInternet provided you supports DHCP and has the ports to run the ethernet cable to. what did BTInternet provide you for equipment? Do you have any other routers?
To make your DLINK into a wireless hub.. Disable DHCP, plug your cable into one of the four ethernet ports, and configure the wireless settings (SSID, Security, etc). It will allow for wireless connectivity, but act as a bridge between your BTInternet device and your wireless clients connected to the dlink.
