Hi,
Where are you connecting the Internet drop in your setup?
The VLAN behavior is generally available in Wireless APs of the
enterprise class where you can setup a separate SSID for the VLAN in
question and the wireless clients that associate to this SSID will be
a part of that VLAN.
I am not sure whether the wrt54gl or the dlink can do this.
However, in your case, you can connect one of the APs to VLAN1 and its
wireless clients should transparently become a member of that VLAN.
Regards,
Shiv
