I currently have the Linksys WRTP54G (wireless)phone adapter. I bought an airport extreme and now I'm not sure how to connect back to adapter that has wireless. Do I need to get another adapter from vonage that does not have wireless? Anybody have any experience?
Thanks

Connect the Extreme's WAN port to one of the WRTP54G's LAN ports. Go into the WRTP54G's configuration screen and turn off the wireless. Finally, I would configure the Airport Extreme in "bridge" mode.

It just a matter of turning off the wireless of the Vonage adapter/router as d00d pointed out. When I originally got my Vonage router/adapter, I was using another router for WiFi, so I just left the Vonage router WiFi off and just used the Vonage router for the phone adapter. I have since dumped the other router and just use the Vonage one and will continue to do so as it has 802.11g and my MBP (1st gen) does not support 802.11n. So, unless I get an 802.11n card/adapter for the MBP or a new MBP (which I admit is tempting at times), I can't do any better on the WiFi side anyway.
