I don't think the WRT54G can act as a wireless bridge (unless you change the firmware which will also void your warranty). Better check the manual and confirm.

But if your modem and the WRT54G are near each other it would be faster if you connect them with an ethernet cable.

Is that possible with the WRT54G?

@nalin: What version of WRT54G do you have?

The stock Linksys firmware won't allow the WRT54G to communicate as a bridge. You'd need to flash the router with a third-party firmware like Tomato or DD-WRT.

From your first post, you want both, the Zyxel and the WRT54G to allot IPs, but I'm not entirely sure if it's possible with the WRT54G in wireless bridge mode. Don't hold me to this though, as I've not worked with the latest iterations of Tomato or DD-WRT. Maybe someone else who has can help you out better.
