    Question what goes in WAN IP

    Hi guys!
    Hope someone can clarify an IP situation for me. After reading all pertaining to my case on this forum I setup my home LAN like this:

    internet (static IP 202.63.xx.xx) ---> Dynalink RTA230 modem/router (IP 192.168.0.1) DHCP on, PPPoA, connection Always ON ----> Asus WL500G (IP 192.168.0.2) ---> 4 PC's ( IP 192.168.0.10 to ..0.13)

    WL500G is in Home Gateway mode.
    My question is: -under the heading WAN IP Setting, it seems logical to put the Dynalink's IP address, as that is the next gateway for ASUS. However it doesn't work, I can't see the Dynalink's setup page, let alone access internet.

    --these are my current settings --
    WAN IP Setting
    IP Address: 192.168.0.1
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
    WAN DNS Setting
    Get DNS Server automatically? No
    DNS Server1: 192.168.0.1
    DNS Server2:

    LAN IP Setting
    IP Address: 192.168.0.2
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

    PC1 uses the ASUS IP as default gateway and DNS server.

    Can someone please tell me what IP address I should put in the WAN IP Address? I tried all sorts of combinations in the last 2 days and nothing at all work. Also I noticed that every time I reset the router the WAN IP Address comes back to 1.1.1.1 I also installed the lates firmware upgrade. I don't think there's anything wrong with the router, it's more with my understanding of IP addressing. I am following same rules as when I set up the Dynalink modem router (which I actually want to use with DHCP off), to no avail.
    I have also uninstalled the firewall (Norton IS)
    Any help will be most welcome!!

    Running wl500g in gateway or router mode requires different subnet on the LAN and WAN port (otherwise how the routing will work?). So, use 192.168.1.0 for LAN.
