Accessing router from ADSL modem-router

[sabrefresco]

I have the following set-up:

• Linksys WAG320N modem-router connected to the internet via RJ11
• Gateway IP for WAG320N is 10.0.1.1, subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
• Static IPv4 address for my EA6500 router is 10.0.1.100

This modem is connected to my EA6500 router:

• Linksys EA6500 connected to WAG320N on port 1
• Gateway IP for EA6500 is 10.0.2.1, subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
• EA6500 is set to auto-config DHCP mode under internet settings

I can connect to all my devices when I am connected to the EA6500, including the ones connected to the modem (WAG320N). But I cannot connect to EA6500's GUI or any devices connected to it when I try accessing them via the WAG320N.

What am I doing wrong? Is it possible to access the EA6500 through the WAG320N?

Are you doing double-NAT? WAN of E6500 into LAN of modem/router? That's why, the E6500 treats the modem/router as part of the internet, and blocks off access to itself from the WAN. If you want to allow access to the E6500 via the WAN port, then you need to enable "remote access", and set up a password that won't be easily crackable.

If you are doing LAN to LAN, between the E6500 and the modem/router, then you need to make the LAN IPs of both devices be on the same subnet.

Yes EA6500's WAN port is connected to my modem's LAN port. How exactly do I enable remote access on the EA6500? On my modem, WAG320N, it has option for remote management, but I do not see anything similar on the router.

The Second Router should be configured this way.

Using a Wireless Cable/DSL Router as a Switch with an Access Point - http://www.ezlan.net/router_AP.html

Tried that. I get an IP from my router's DHCP table when connected through the modem, and it is all accessible (LAN-wise), but I cannot access the internet. The modem connects to the internet, but I get a DNS error on Chrome and a red cross on Windows Network and Sharing Center.

EDIT: This is how the IPs are like after I followed your steps:
Router IP was set to 10.0.2.1 before changing anything, with a DHCP range from 10.0.2.100 to 10.0.2.149.

Modem's initial IP was 10.0.1.1, DCHP ranging from 10.0.1.100 to 10.0.1.149. Changed modem's IP to 10.0.2.200 and DHCP range from 10.0.2.201 to 10.0.2.250. Disabled DHCP server. All was fine until this point.

Lost internet connectivity on all devices after I connected LAN-to-LAN. My PC received an IP of 10.0.2.109 which is from the router, but Internet was not accessible, although my modem was reporting that it was connected properly.

Now back to old set-up

DHCP server has to be ON in the Modem/Router, and OFF on the second device.

The WAN IP of the second device left open (nothing plug into it) and DHCP Off

Example.

First device core IP 10.0.1.1 DHCP On 100 to 149

Second Device core IP 10.0.1.10

Just to clarify, by first device you mean the modem-router (WAG320N) and second the router (EA6500), since that is the exact opposite of what they mentioned on that link?

Yes.

Most links and info concerned these matter does Not relate to a Modem/Routers (a combo that is considered inferior by mose Entisiasts).

Your system consists on a Modem, a First Router that is on the same plastic box with the Modem, and a second Router (EA65000) that you are going to use as an Access Point.
