Hi James,

You should break the job into a few smaller jobs. First, turn off the
Netcomm router. Then, get wireless working between Computer & Linksys.

Once that is done, the hard work is over. Then you just need to work out
how you're going to do the Internet connection.

One golden rule that you should note, is that using two routers is a bad
thing. You should think about changing to either :

(a) Use Linksys as a router, with the Netcomm as just a 'dumb' modem (in
Bridge mode)

--or--

(b) Use Linksys as a wireless access point only (no routing enabled),
and use the Netcomm as a router.


To help you decide (a) or (b), can you tell me why you have two
different devices? Perhaps does your Internet Provider supply one, and
you bought the other one yourself?

Also does the Linksys offer a "access point only" mode?

Cheers,
Callan
