I did make it a bit more complicated as I tested functionality at each step through. An experience person likely would not go through as many steps, but this was meant to be more of nube to nube.
If you think of it as connecting the router as another segment of a network below your current firewall, then configure the addresses so that if both networks were put together as one, there would be no conflicts. This means the address of the router can not conflict with the address of the firewall (IPCop). There can not be two DHCP servers. The purpose of doing this is to configure and test the router, but once the IP addresses have been changed on the router, the network wiring needs to be changed. You need to do this because the wireless router no longer has DHCP server enabled, you need to get your IP from somewhere else. The last step is enabling security.
