This is the usual result when routers are chained this way. To use the
wireless router as an Access Point you need to
1. Set the WRT54G to a static IP address on the same subnet but outside the
DHCP range of the BEFSR41.
2. Disable DHCP on the WRT54G.
3. Do not use the uplink port of the WRT54G, i.e. connect the BEFSR41 and
the 2 PCs to LAN ports only.
See
