Hi
The Router configuration is not that much difficult, only few thing you have sure,

2) Chose unique ip address in All host.
Follow the mention bellow instruction to configure and connect to Wifi Router,

- Now type in 192.168.1.1 in IE or Firefox or any browser. You will prompted for password which is admin. You must be logged into Linksys Router.
- Now since your ADSL modem is also having the same IP , we will change the IP address for WRT54G2 Router to 192.168.5.1
- Under Setup >Basic Setup look for Network Setup and Change Router IP. Change to 192.168.5.1 and Save changes.
- Since the IP has changed you will need to close the Browser.
