Router issue...switch setting D-514

I wonder how many people know of DSL routers? Well DSL routers from service providers instead of a DSL modem.

Well here is my situation. I have Verizon DSL and we were given a DSL router. Basically the DSL router logins automatically. Because of this we can share the internet via just a switch.

Now the problem is I wanted to add a wireless router and because the DSL router logs in automatically i can't setup PPOe. So Iset the router(D514) as a dynamic(like a cable modme). THe internet worked only we couldn't login to secure or cgi scripted websites because of unresolved DNS.

So I locate the DSL Router and disconnect it, then I setup the D-514 as PPOe and it works! But unfortunately the internet won't work. Every page you try to visit u get a msg "Verizon can't varify your username and password.". I see that as a ploy to make you buy their networking equipment.
I can't alter the DSL router because it is scure via user/pass and of course the user doesn't have it.

So the way to solve this is to just set the router as a switch. So my question is how do I do this?
The D-514 has no switch settings. The Microsoft wireless/4port router has that setting but i dont have one.
thx in advance.

Switch Off the DHCP in the Router to be Switch set to Off any filters or special settings that is On.

Plug the Router to the main Router Using Regular Port to Regular Port. If the Router is MDX it does not matter what type of CAT5 you use, otherwise you need crossover cable.

Important: The WAN input of the Router to be Switch should stay open.
