Connecting 2 routers and internet
hello,
I have a problem:
till now i had one router that 4 computers were connected to him by
cables.
recently i wanted wireless network at home (for my palm and laptop)
so i bought wireless router, but i made a mistake and bought an adsl
router, and my internet connection is with a network cable not
adsl....
i understood that its possible to take one computer off the old
router, connect it to the wireless one and
to connect the wireless router to the old router so i could access
from it to the internet.
i tried to do this and failed...
anyone can help me?
the models of my routers are:
The old one: DLINK DI-704P
The wireless one: DLINK DSL-2640T
Thanks.

You could have DHCP running quite happily on both routers as I expect
that these all use PAT to mask the inside networks, or if not define
scopes that do not overlap.
Meanwhile, back the to original question:
Use the original router to connect your broadband connection to. No
need to change anything.
Connect the WAN interface, if it lets you..., of your new ADSL wireless
router into one of the old router's ports. If not, then I think you have
a problem :(
The manual is here, but work have blocked FTP access so I cannot d/l the
link to really see how it could be strung together.
