No, that'd be perfect if it worked :-/ I tried that setup initially. I plugged the Wireless router (from the first LAN port, not the WAN port) into the main network switch. I could not access to the Internet through the Wireles router. There seems to be no config in the web-based Wireless router admin to disable it as a router either. I would *love* for it to just be another LAN device, acting more as a wireless switch.
