NOT tech savvy.
I've searched and searched for a thread to bridge routers. I think I have my ATT NVG589 router ready with the correct settings. I can't seem to get the computer to pick up the Linksys EA4500. I've followed step by steps, but to no avail. ATT is already in service, now I just need to add the EA4500.

Can anyone give a step by step on what to do?

Does my new, secondary, EA4500 need to have it's own DSL line coming out of the wall? I couldn't set up through the disk that came with it because it couldn't find the router. I couldn't the way I read in one place because it couldn't find the router.

Please note: my ATT NVG589 router is already in service, I just need the Linksys EA4500 added to the setup.
 
Solution
Connect the WAN port of the Linksys to one of the four LAN ports of the ATT router.
Reboot the ATT router.
Connected the computer to one of the four LAN ports of the Linksys. (Do not use Wireless to configure the Linksys)
Try the CD again, or type 192.168.1.1 in to the browser into the field where you would enter www.google.com.
