DI-604 is not wirleless. DI-524 is wireless. Or so I gather from:
http://www.dlink.com/
....and expanding the drop-down menu on the left to see the product list.
Is there a particular reason for using the WAN port of whichever D-Link you
are so configuring? Is there a particular reason to have so many routers?
Simplest would have been either a D-Link DWL-2100A, or the like, or a
Linksys WAP54G, or the like. I set up a friend with a D-Link DWL-2100A
connected to a D-Link DI-704UP. He tried a Linksys WAP54G at first, but I
couldn't get that to work. Exchanged the Linksys WAP for the D-Link WAP,
and it all works, easy enough. BTW, I also had trouble, out of the box,
with a new Linksys BEFSR11, so I am pretty sour on Linksys products.
Anyway, your system may be needlessly complex for what you are trying to
do. If your intent is to have all computers seeing each other, you should
not be using a router to separate the network by plugging into a WAN port.
Frankly, if the Linksys router is a four-port model, I would connect the
wired computers to the first three ports, and the wireless router to port
four; using a LAN port on the wireless router and whichever end of that
link (Linksys, or D-Link) which can act as an uplink; or let the ports
negotiate an auto-sense link, if they are capable.
If you have more than three wired computers, the additional computers on
the remaining wired ports of the wireless router. Disable DHCP on the
wireless router, and manually assign an IP address on its LAN side. This
converts the wireless router into a combined wireless access point and
switch. All networked devices will get their IP addresses by DHCP from the
Linksys router.
If I have misunderstood your intent, please explain what you want in
detail. Just whether you want all computers to have full access to each
other, or some computers to be isolated from the others. If the latter,
which network should have the wireless laptop.
