I want to connect this router to another router. I want the Linksys WRT54GX4 to be for wifi only and my other router to controll the 10/100 network.
So what do I do? I have done this before and I'm pretty sure of what to do. But just for the hell of it I thought I would ask just to be sure.
Thanks!

Basically, just don't have anything plugged into the Router. I have that now, but no other router, so it is still a router. But if you plug a router into the port on the back, then that first router becomes a AP. That is if the AP is built in onto the router, which nowadays, most are

What Nick is trying to say is "don't plug anything into the WAN port on the router." Connect one of its LAN ports to one of the LAN ports on your main router. Also, make sure that the DHCP is disabled on the router you want to use as an AP only.

If I dont setup the AP for DHCP, do I set it up as (static ip)/ If so will the AP then beable to hand out IPs via the main router?
-
If DHCP is off at the AP, the router will handle out IPs to all clients. I had it working with no problems for some time, until I turned DHCP off completely and moved to static IPs (faster and ensures fixed IPs for all clients).
