Hi frickebrett,
Kindly try the following below:
1. Connect your main PC directly to the Motorola SB6141 then check if you can access the internet. If ever you can go online proceed to the next step.
2. Connect the Motorola SB6141 to the WAN port of the FVS318Gv2. Then connect the main PC to any LAN port of the FVS318Gv2.
3. Access the web-GUI of the FVS318Gv2.
4. Go to Network Configuration > WAN Settings > WAN Mode, select NAT instead of Classical Routing then click Apply.
5. Go to Network Configuration > WAN Settings > Broadband ISP Settings, set the following below then click Apply:
a. Select No on "Does Your Internet Connection Require a Login?"
b. Select PPPoE on "Which type of ISP connection do you use?"
c. On the Internet Address portion, select "Get Dynamically from ISP."
d. On the Domain Name Server portion, select "Get Automatically from ISP."
6. Go to Network Configuration > WAN Settings > Broadband ISP Settings. Click Advanced on the upper right portion.
7. On the Router's MAC Address portion, select "Use this computer's MAC Address then click Apply.
8. Check if you can access the internet. If ever you are not yet able to go online, do the following:
a. Turn off the Motorola SB6141 and the FVS318Gv2. Make sure both are fully turned off.
b. Turn on the Motorola SB6141 first. Wait for it to initialize.
c. After the Motorola SB6141 has initialized, turn on the FVS318Gv2.
d. Wait for the WAN port LED of the FVS38Gv2 to turn green then check if you can access the internet through the FVS318Gv2.
Let us know the results.

Hi frickebrett,
Welcome to the community! :)
Correct me if I'm wrong. What I've understand about your concern is that the moment you connect the WNDR4300 (set as an access point) directly to a LAN port of the FVS318Gv2, you are unable to go online wirelessly, am I right? If ever I am right, kindly answer the questions below:
a. If you connect a PC/laptop directly to any LAN port of the FVS318Gv2, are you able to access the internet?
b. Since the WNDR4300 is set as an access point, I believe that it has a static IP address set on it. Is the static IP address set on it within the IP range of the FVS318Gv2?
I look forward to your response.
