Wireless Router Help
At the moment, I have a WIRED router that networks 3 computers together. I bought a WIRELESS router, and I want to connect it in addition to my WIRED router. Can someone help me configure this together?
The WIRED router I have connected right now is a Linksys BEFSR41 and the WIRESLESS router I bought is a Linksys WRT54G.

REPLACE the wired router with the wireless router. Why do you want to connect the 2 together?

You should do the following:
Connect your wireless router to the modem and set-up and internet connection... Then connect your wired router to one of the lan ports using one of the lan ports. Go into your wired router config and change it to a switch or disable DHCP if It can't be configured as a switch/bridge. Then connect all your devices to the remaining Lan ports. Or just trash the wired router a buy a switch |

Let's be a bit more detailed. Do as said - replace the wired router with the wireless router and configure it. Then connect a computer to the wired router while it's a standalone - nothing else connected to it - and do 2 things. Turn off its DHCP server and change its internal IP to 192.168.1.200. Connect a cable from a switch port on the wireless router to the UPLINK port on the wired router (leave the WAN port OPEN) - then you can use the switch ports on the wired router as simple switch ports.
