Can this method be done without loading new firmware as the 2wire router is not in the supported list of DD-WRT. I too wish to do this to extend the WiFi coverage. If it can could you post the settings that need configuringIf you can run an ethernet cable from one router to the other, that should work great. You'd turn off DHCP and the modem on the 2nd router and just use it as an access point. I've got 2 wireless networks running that way in my house.
Plug the 2 wire into a pc and log on to the setup . . look for an option to change the DHCP and IP address . . if it has those options, you can convert it to an access point.
See this for how to do that:
