Connect a wireless router to the output of a wired router

by mike_flood . Updated 18 years, 5 months ago

I have an associate who wants to connect a wireless router to a distant wired and wireless router.
Distant router is a Verizon Westell modem/router combo.
The new setup would be a Linksys WRT54G.
Some solutions I have read achieve this by assigning new IP addresses in the #2 router. But this then requires that the user change his network TCP/IP addresses. He is not a technical person. So requiring him to access settings is not acceptable when he is in the location of the #2 router is not good.
Any one got any suggestions?
At this point we have an 8 port switch installed with a feed from the distant (#1) router. Five wall jacks are connected to the switch but he would like to add wireless to the setup.
