I am soo confused. can i not do that?

During the initial configuration, do so using an ethernet cable attached directly to the router. Once you get the router configured onto the address you select on the 192.168.1.x network (for instance, 192.168.1.254), you will connect the two routers together via the LAN ports as described and you'll be able to reach the FiOS router via 192.168.1.1 and the new router / access point at the new address (192.168.1.254). Since you have the routers connected via the LAN ports, they are on the same network.
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
DNS: 192.168.1.1
Since we still have the ActionTec as your primary gateway to the internet.
ok. i tried that on my netgear wndr 3700 router.
I get this message since there is a conflict the ip has been set to 10.0.0.1
1)can i use that one as static ip.
2) does a static ip mean I can from any computer on the network type the ip address and log into my router? or do i have to unplug and attach to a computer?
3) if i cant set up static ip correctly, can i simply unplug my router and go to 192.168.1.1 ? (although i think i tried that and it did not work)
thanks in advance.
