It is possible.
If your 2 routers have a bridging feature or at least some wired ports free you can do this.
1 router would connect to the internet. The other connects to the router and simply extends the network.
Sounds like your DHCP server is only handing out 1 address. This is sometimes used as a band-aid when WEP or WPA is too much of a hassel to use for security.
Is it a wireless only router? If you also have wired ports try to plug an ethernet wire into it, that should work.
Then at least you can take your time figuring out the wireless.

Should probaly try to read a little more into the GFI product. Its IMO the best out there. We have absolutely no problems with it, and don't have the problems that you have.
I would think once the screen goes blank its ok to turn it off.
Why did you upgrade anyway? I can't imagine it being anywhere in the neighborhood of speed you had with windows 98.
BTW you still may get network activity if you have alot of users and mostly alot of people who like rebooting and requesting access from the server.
Phisically disconnecting is the neatest solution in this case, if at all possible.
If all the users are connected to a seprate network simply physically disconnect them.
If not, you could disallow thier group to log onto the domain through GPO, then reboot the server without notice. Both of these methods means possible data loss though, and probably a bad idea.
The best...
You only need two wires to transmit video over ethernet with and RCA balum connection on each side, it is also possible to run the power over the same line. Modern computer networks use all 4 pairs of wires to transmit data, if you use less your degrading yourself to cat3. Meaning slowing...
