I have a Linksys wireless router/switch and a Linksys VOIP router/switch. I want to use the VOIP router/switch as the main gateway with DHCP and then use the wireless just for wireless. I connect a cable from a LAN port on the VOIP router to a LAN port on the wireless router but hte wireless will not work. I am trying to get the wireless to work without having to put the cable into the WAN port on the wireless router and turn on DHCP.

Thank you
 
I don't believe this is possible as the wireless router doesn't have an option to be just an access point (usually just gateway or router).

If you just want to add wireless to an existing wired network, you need to install a WAP54G access point.

So I dont insert my foot in my mouth, I think you need to contact Linksys via their live chat and see if what you are trying to do is possible -- but I believe the WAP54G is your answer.
