modem/router + wireless router setup problem

Archived from groups: (More info?)

Hi
Some of this Modem/Router combos have a menu entry that can disable the Router part and
they can act as modems only.
Other wise connect the Linksys by it self to a computer and change its IP to
192.168.2.1, then connect the output of the Modem/Router to the WAN port as a static
connection. You can build then a Network behind the Linksys that would be around
192.168.2.1 to 192.168.2.254.
