Rob, It's not clear (to me, at least) what you're trying to accomplish. If you have two wired networks, what's the 802.11g router doing? I'm not sure why you're doing wireless. Are you trying to connect the two wired networks via a wireless "bridge" between the two? If so, you'll be losing a lot of potential bandwidth, providing you're currently running fast (100mb) ethernet. If you have two wired (cat5) networks (in effect?), running a single cat5 cable to connect the two is pretty trivial (switch to switch, no routing necessary), and is a better (faster, more reliable and secure) solution to using wireless. I'd use one of the wired lan ports on your USR8054 to connect to the other side of the house, and you're good to go. Perhaps you could clarify.
