2 routers..static or dynamic routing?

Hey peeps,

Don't ask why but I have two routers, one is the Linksys BEFSX41 Firewall Router (w/VPN Endpoint) and the other is the Linksys WRT54G Wireless Router. You guys probably think I'm on crazy pills but I want to use both of them. Right now here is my setup that works just fine but my question is regarding Dynamic and Static Routing.

Cable Modem --> WAN BEFSX41 --> DMZ Port --> WAN WRT54G

BEFSX41
WAN: Dynamic IP, GATEWAY, and DNS
LAN: 192.168.1.1
SUB: 255.255.255.0

WRT54G
WAN: 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.1, DNS (All from BEFSX41)
LAN: 192.168.2.1
SUB: 255.255.255.0

I'm not sure how Dynamic and Static Routing work when you are using two routers, so any information would be great. Ideally I would like to be all on one IP scheme (192.168.1.0 only). I'm not too sure if that could work but it's worth the try. I'm guessing that I might have to turn off DHCP on the Wireless router, right?

Anyways, sorry for the headache. Thanks for the help!

Strange setup, but I can understand part of the reasoning behind it... I think.

I would disable WAN DHCP in the wireless otherwise, you might receive an IP conflict for the wireless clients trying to reach their gateway. If you are sharing files across the network, you'll have to use TCP/IP for the two router setup.

Okay I got it. I turned off DHCP on the wireless router. Connected the two routers with a patch cable. Now everyone is on the same IP scheme and the router works like an access point.

Thanks for the help everyone
