Do you know for *certain* that the WiFi router is acting as a DHCP
relay? Alternatively, that it is acting as a bridge? If it is just
routing, then your DISCOVER packets, which are *broadcast*, will never
reach the DHCP server.

Simple test - configure the WiFi router as a DHCP server too! If you
then get an address (doesn't have to be a routable one) then the problem
is as described.
