MTS Ultimate Router Help!

[bman77]

Hi, I'm getting MTS Ultimate installed on Monday as an upgrade form MTS Classic. From what I've heard MTS Ulitimate comes with a router that must be used. However I want to use my WNR3500L as it is Gigabit and Wireless N. I will have two TVs, one wired computer, and my xbox wired.

I think I have a plan, please tell me if this would work. I will first disable wireless on the 2wire and make sure the nat is open, I will then check the dhcp range and pick an address outside of it to assign my other router, I will also set that address as the DMZ server.

Then from one of the ports of the 2wire i will plug it into the Wan port on my router, I will then go to my router setup and change to the ip I selected before. I plan to keep DHCP running on both routers, is this okay?

Then, I have my Xbox and main PC setup on static IPs for port forwarding so I don't want to make them automatic so I would change the Gateway to the routers new IP and check if there is a new DNS server.

I think that will be all I need to do but please tell me if I should do something differently or if I'm missing something, as I am a networking noob. By the way I will be getting lightning max.

Thanks
