Yep.

Yep.

Yes.

Nope, you already assigned non-conflicting addresses to the two D-
links yourself. They are now fixed. What the 2wire's DHCP will do
is assign IP addresses to the clients of the D-links, rather than the
D-links trying to do it themselves. That way everybody is on the same
subnet with a unique address.

Again, channel assignment may make a big difference. Don't forget
about that. Do a Netstumbler survey to map the existing APs and
where they are stronger to help you sort that out.

Also, if BILL's barbell (with 2Wire added) scheme doesn't work, then
there are other possible approaches to try. But that seems like the
best
