linking orange livebox and linksys WRT54GL-UK router

[jak731]

is there any way of linking the orange livbox with the linksys WRT54GL-UK wireless wireless router so the linksys acts like an ethanet switch. i plan to join the 2 devices using a cat5e cable.

if there is a way, please give me a noobs guide and include every step please as this is my first time trying something like this

You need to access the Linksys settings and turn off the DHCP server. Then you simply connect the 2 together by an ethernet crossover cable (Not using the WAN ports - they are too slow usually). At least, thats all I think you need to do. I use my WRT54-GS as a wireless access point the same way.
