setting up router as switch

The topology of my network looks like this:

DSL modem -> wired router (10.10.10.10/255.255.255.0) -> wireless
router

I'd like to set up the network so all the computers are on the
same network (so they can print to the same shared printer.)

The WAN IP address of the wireless router is set to 10.10.10.50.
What LAN IP address do I need to set it to or does it matter at
all? The DHCP feature on the wireless router is disabled. Thanks.

Change IP address on WAN port to DHCP assigned.
Set LAN IP address to 10.10.10.50
Leave WAN port "disconnected"
Connect cable from wired router to a LAN port on wireless router

You should not use the WAN port. This wireless router would not be
controlling the access to the Internet . You just want the wireless
network to be used as an access point.

If you want to use WAN port, you will need to set up a "second" LAN IP
"scheme" that is not 10.10.10.xx and turn the DHCP back on. This
second "style" will create a second "separate" network.
