Help Connecting a Switch to Wireless Router

[FRANK THE TANK]

I'm having trouble setting up my network. I want to connect my cable modem to a Linksys Workgroup Switch (EZXS55W) to a Linksys Wireless Router (BEFW1154), in that order. I've tried many different configurations with no luck. The reason I want to do this is to bypass the Wireless Router's firewall. Any suggestions?

Can't you get into the Linksys and turn the firewall option off? Just out of curiosity, why do you want to bypass the firewall?

Well I'm having trouble bypassing it through ports (you can use so many ports) on the wireless router, and using the DMZ to turn is off seems very unsafe. I want to have my computer an 360 on the switch and the wireless router on the switch for wi-fi around the house.

I don't understand what you mean by ..."I want to have my computer an 360 on the switch...".

Your Cable Connection is probably authenticated with the Routers MAC address. If you put the 360 before the Router your lose the authentication and the Routing and it would not work.

Thousands of people have their 360 configured past the Router there is No reason that you can not do it.
