Netgear TA612V Ata setup question

    My setup coming from out of the wall is Dsl/Zyxel P-623 modem-router/Netgear ata/cordless fone. I have the zyxel in bridge mode and have entered my dsl BB password+username into the netgear ata along with all my voip settings. This setup works fine but now I want to replace my zyxel with a linksys wrt54g which does the same as the zyxel but also will do wireless for my laptop.
    Here starts the problem if I put the Linksys in bridge mode I still have a wireless connection but only to the linksys. And becuase the dsl is technically only passing through the linksys i cannot access the internet via my laptop wireless. Where as if I put a ethernet cable into the ethernet socket on the Ta612v i have web access. Does any of that make sense? if so does anyone have a solution

    Cheers

    Check out this sticky in the wireless forum. See step 5. Wireless forum would probably be the best forum to post this in.

    Thanks Irish,had a look but I think my problem is the order of my setup. Another words I think I need to change around the order of my Router-Modem and Netgear Ata but I am hoping someone can confirm before I pull it apart. I leave it here in Voip as I know this sort of wireless/Ata setup is common enough and I am hoping someone can advise me

    Cheers
