Wifi and Wired networks - thoroughly confused

Voyagers have the IP address 192.168.1.1 NOT 192.168.0.1

Also should the Linksys stay as a Router or should I switch it to become a Gateway?

Gateway, according to this thread, although I'm not sure how that ties in with the suggestions on that other thread I posted.

To set your Voyagers 2091 into Bridge Mode, go to WAN Configuration and change the ATM PVC Mode to RFC1483 Bridged. May be turning of WLAN will be a good idea too.

Set the PPPoE on your Linksys with the username/password and hopefully all go well. Document what you've changed and this will help you to revert back to the original config if you need to.

Thanks Chippy for the links.

wiraone, now I have learnt what Bridge Mode is, I would attempt the change you suggest, however on my Voyager 2091 Config Manager there is not a specific WAN config.
Under Quick Setup config. I can change ATM PVC settings, but not change from that protocol to RFC1483 Bridged!

Any ideas?

Found out that 2091 is not as open as normal router since it is locked to BT only. Most probably you won't be able to set the bridge mode, but you may want to try out :

From the above screenshot, click on Edit button and see if it allows you to change the modem into a bridge mode.

I guess if this is not possible, you may want to use your 2091 as a gateway as per Chippy suggestion. This makes your WRT54G as a normal switch .. disable DHCP & WLAN on WRT54G.
