An easy way to avoid messing with the Dlink would be to disable Routing/NAT and the DHCP sever in the Linksys. Then connect an LAN port on the Dlink to a LAN port on the Linksys. Effectively making the Linksys a simple switch and allowing your G wireless to function. The supplied Dlink will continue the PPPoE, Nat/routing, local DHCP functions. I understand Verizon is pretty picky about the supplied Dlink remaining in place. Good Luck, and Congrats !
