I have a Linksys WRTP54G that has an overheating problem that they are known for in that it losses its ethernet WAN connection when hot; so what I need to know is if I can use it as just a phone adapter after my new Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 Wireless router and if so do I need to change and or shut off any of the Linksys settings?
It may be replaced with the new Motorola VT2542 if they will do so for free; but I still might use the separate wireless router in front and it just as a phone adapter if possible!
No, what I want to do is come out of the cable modem into my new Wireless router, then go from 1 of its ethernet ports into the cable input of the Vonage Router but just use it as a phone adapter while pluging my desktop and any further devices into the 1st new Wireless Router.
I just want to use the Vonage Capable Router like a device out of my new Wireless Router strictly as a Phone adapter.

My WRTP54G has been running as just a Vonage adapter for over a year now.
Option 1 in the below diagrams will give you a simple Vonage adapter, option 3 will make your WRTP54G work as a dumb switch in addition to a Vonage device (but if you are having overheating problems with the switch, probably not the best idea).
