Ok heres my setup: Linksys 4 port router with a Netgear wireless router hooked to it. I want to keep the existing router and use the new wireless router as an access point. Problem is every time I disable DHCP on the netgear it fubars the router. I can not even access the config settings. Everything works fine with DHCP enabled on both routers except I can not print to my networked printer from my wireless notebook :(

Any suggestions?
I forgot to add. how should the wireless router be connected to the existing router. As is regular port on wired router to "internet" port on wireless router

When using the Entry Level Gizmos, only One Router per Network.

I.e. Netgear connected to Linksys via Crossover CAT5 from regular port to regular port. WAN input of Netgear should stay empty. Only one DHCP On per LAN.

If the Netgear still get into trouble, reverse the rolls, make the Netgear as a Router, and use the Linksys as a switch. Same connection as above.
