Using the WRT54GS, where there is another router already on the network is goint to confuse the DHCP as both routers, in default settings will try to be the boss. I'm sure you can deactivate DHCP in the WRT54GS but that's a case of RTFM.

The big question is why have two routers on the same network? You're just adding to your power consumption and spaghetti wiring. Just ditch the wired router (ebay it) and use the new WRT54GS wireless router which allows you the best of both worlds wired and wireless.
