    If you've messed with it that much I would suggest you do another hard reset to kill all previous settings.

    The static IP is for internet connections. You shouldn't be configuring internet connections for the linksys router, because your not using the modem part of it, and don't need it to provide you with an internet connection. All you want is the switch and the wireless access point.

    Do a hard reset, and then configure it as described again.

    If that doesnt work, I would suggest you have a look at your first router. Clearly something set in there is stopping the 2nd one from working. If the first router has a IP set for the 2nd router, remove it. Also, DHCP and UPNP are enabled on the first router yeah? They should BOTH be disabled on the 2nd router.

    It really shouldn't be difficult to use it as a access point and switch. It doesn't need a static IP.

    That's most likely because the linksys default IP is clashing with the 1st routers IP address. You can change it to 192.168.0.149 to resolve this, or...

    To save further complicating the matter, if its working as a switch, and the wireless access point is working leave it alone. lol

    Should you need to do admin you can always directly connect it to a computer to do it.

    you need direct access to B;
    disconnect it from everything and WIRE a connection to any system.
    now use your browser to access the 'default' IP address.
    once configured, save the settings and disconnect

    reconnect B ->A and you're done
