Sorry about the incorrect title; I now see that it's really a WNR2000. I'll briefly describe what I did to get it working.
1. I did a factory reset on the WNR2000 and hooked it directly to a computer using one of the LAN ports. I was able to login using the default login ip.
2. I changed the WiFi to channel 11 because my other is on channel 6.
3. I set the ipa to 192.168.1.253 and disabled DHCP. I saved this and powered it off.
4. Then I logged into my dsl modem and changed its DHCP range from this (192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.253) to this (192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.252).
5. I connected my dsl modem/router to LAN1 of the WNR2000 and one of my computers to LAN2 of the WNR2000.
6. I powered up the WNR2000 and everything worked.
I don't know if this is all exactly right, but it works.
