And Don't use the WAN port. Be sure that the IP address you assign to the belkin does not overlap with addresses used by the DGL's DHCP server serving your LAN. I sometimes pick the last address (like 192.168.0.254) for my wireless access point. Basically this leaves the Belkin unit in "router" mode but with no DHCP service running. But since you aren't connecting anything to the WAN port, you aren't using any of the routing functionality. You're just using it as a wireless bridge and LAN switch. Let us know how it goes. -- "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not one bit simpler." - Albert Einstein

An automatic connection through the Belkins WPA security and then a hand off to the Internet via the Dlink 4100. Oh yeah. Next step is to reaccess the Belkin via a hard connection and reset the base addy of the Belkin to one within the subnet (gotta love these new terms ) of the DGL 4100. George Stay tuned for Part II
