Linksys E2500 som access point

Here is what I finally did. Hooked up laptop to E2500 via Lan connection. Reset E2500 to factory specs. Setup wireless security and did a save settings. Went to basic settings and selected Bridge mode. Then I entered the following:

IP ADRS 192.168.20.201    (adrs for E2500)
SUBNET 255.255.255.0
GATEWAY 192.168.20.1    (adrs of main router - LAN)

Save settings and then router did an auto reboot.

After reboot I could no longer access E2500 from laptop and an IPCONFIG showed no Gateway Adrs.

I then hooked up the E2500 (LAN) to the main router (LAN). I was able to access the Internet.

I then removed the LAN connection between the E2500 and main router.

I was able to connect to the Internet with a wireless connection from laptop.

I was also able to access the E2500 via the adrs of 192.168.20.201 and it showed that the E2500 was in Bridge mode.
