How to connect a wireless access point

I just connected my linksys wrt160nl to a nic on my asg. What do I do in asg to that nic? On linksys I disabled the dhcp server and disabled nat. I gave it static ip 192.168.1.2 so i could connect to it and configure it before i connected it to the asg.

What might be good is to separate the networks since my gaming will be on the linksys and the computers not. So then I can disable web security etc on the gaming network and the computer network still be secure. I'm not sure what to do in ASG to the nic that the linksys is now connected. The linksys lan port 1 is connected to the eth 2 nic on my asg. eth 0 and 1 on asg are for the internet and working fine.

Now I'm confused lol. Wii will be wireless, macbook pro wireless. xbox 360 and ps3 wireless and sometimes hardwired. I want to separate the gaming from the computers so I can open up as much as possible the gaming and keep the computers secure.

Hi, you'd set it up like another LAN... need a MASQ setup, and packetfilter rules, allow the DNS server, setup DHCP...
