Recently we had our ISP switched to Bell, and with that came a new modem. It wasn't until I tried port forwarding for a few of my games that I realized that this modem was also a router, and was conflicting with the one I had set up already.

My current set up is
R1) 2701HG-G Gateway
R2) Linksys Cisco WRT160N

The problem I'm having is that any ports I forward in my main router (WRT160N), won't work due to something conflicting in the Gateway.

How would I fix this problem?
Eliminating one of the routers isn't an option.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I got it to actually ping the router now, but the port check says that the port is still not open, or is unreachable.

Tried opening the ports on the Gateway router?

Indeed, still no luck.
It's a piece of shit, lol.

A classic step to forget on port checking... is the port actually in use when you check if it's open?
It does matter if you didn't know.
