Aside from that, i'm wondering why he turned WIRELESS off (Configured the
WRT54G to run as a Router, rather than Gateway) and expects it to still work
as if the wireless was still on.....
I have mine connected together both with different ssid's/dhcp on/connected
via the lan ports, and it works great for multiple devices/connections...
