Connecting a Wireless Router

I am about to install my Vonage (with Linksys RT31P2) to my Blueyonder broadband and my SafeCom wireless router (ie 2 routers).

What is the best to connect the two routers together? I don't want anything fancy, just to have the Vonage phone line and wireless connection for my PC working.

Thanks.

I've got a similar set up (Linksys RT31P2 and existing wireless router). I couldn't get it to work as I thought I needed to connect one of the ethernet ports of the Linksys to one of the ethernet ports of my router, but customer services advised that it's the Internet port of the Linksys that should be connected to an ethernet port on my router. Works fine.

Thanks. So I should essentially connect as follows:

PC -> Modem -> Wireless Router -> Vonage Router -> Phone ?

Yes, just make sure it's the Internet socket on the Vonage Router you cable to an Ethernet port on the Router.
