The Linksys and Belkin are NOT connected via ethernet. This is not
feasible in my house without a lot of work. The Linksys is my main
router, and the Belkin specifically advertises both an "Access Point"
and "Wireless Bridge" mode, although the manual doesn't give many
details on how to set this up.
What Belkin refers to as "bridging" is more commonly referred to as WDS
(Wireless Distribution System), and it will only work with some other
Belkin devices:
"A wireless bridge is actually a 'mode' in which your Wireless Router
can directly connect to a secondary Wireless Access Point. Note that you
can only bridge your 54g Wireless Router (Model F5D7230-4) to a Belkin
54g Wireless Access Point (model F5D7130). Bridging with other brands of
Access Points is not supported at this time."

Consult the archives of this newsgroup for discussions on the thoroughly
confusing use of the terms "bridge" and "bridging" by the wireless
networking industry. One manufacturer's "bridge" can't always function
the same way another's can.
Linksys:
DHCP - ON (Range 192.168.0.100 - 192.168.0.150)
Channel 1
Belkin:
DHCP - OFF
After a hard reset, I can get to this router from a WIRED client at its
default address of 192.168.2.1. However, once I change this to
192.168.0.200, I can no longer access it from the wired client.
Are you giving the wired client a manual address in the 192.168.0.x
range? If the client is still configured to get its IP address via DHCP,
disabling the Belkin's DHCP server will result in the client assigning
itself a random address in the 169.x.x.x range.
