If the modem does dhcp for the ports. Connect the wireless router there 
and then you computers to the wireless router.


Modem gateway is what atnex set up.
Wireless router gateway and ip is what the modem assigns.
computer gateway and ip are what the router assigned if you did not want 
that to be static.
