Hey,
I posted a while ago about trying to setup a Linksys WRT54GL but never got round to managing it. Now I've decided to try again so hopefully someone will be able to advise me.
This is how I hope my network will look like:
Internet
||
TP-Link TD-8840 (Modem)
||
Linksys WRT54GL (Main Router)
// || \\
Computer 1 Computer 2 Laptop
I've setup the 8840 Modem in bridged mode with the VCI and VPI as 0-38. The WRT54GL is setup as PPPOE and I have logged in but it is still not connecting to the internet. I noticed that "Service Name" is not filled in though, is there something I have to put there? I put the Wireless Mode as Access Point, is that correct?
Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction, didn't realise it would be this much a nuisance to setup!
Thanks.

To me it's not clear how the TP-Link handle bridge mode. If you just want the WiFi from the WRT54 I would suggest to run the TP-Link normally and connect the WRT54 internet port to one of the ethernet ports of the TP-Link.
You may have to setup the WRT54 before connecting to the TP-Link and you need to select DHCP on the internet side and diasble DHCP on the LAN side of the WRT54.
