So I have a linksys wireless B router sitting here doing nothing. My friend needs a switch, He has 5 PC's to plug into a 4 port router. Thus the need for a switch.

I'm pretty sure you can disable something on the wireless B router to just use its switching capability, and allow the first router to do the DHCP work.

I would appreciate it if someone could confirm this and give me a little guidance on how to achieve all this.

Disable DHCP & Wireless, change the IP address to be in the same range as the current router (ie: 192.168.1.2) and only use the LAN ports.
