Ah! And the Zyxel does? I missed that in the original post.

if yes why would I do that?
Don\'t change your old router. Let it route. Leave everything as is.
They key is to tell the WRT its role in the network. Set up your
WRT54GS as a gateway rather than a router. I\'d try to disable the DHCP
on the WRT unit, as your existing router should be able to issue IP
address over the WRT.

I don\'t believe you need to create two separate networks. (If you do,
you\'ll need to create routing rules between them.) So, you should be
able to access them directly by IP address.

It does. If you haven\'t changed anything else, you should be able to
access it the same way.
