Having problems with E1000 as a Point of access to installation - please help

Quick history - using an E2000 as my main router to a DSL connection (using an ISP provided Zyxel 660HW wireless modem) disabled if it matters with. I have an E1000 I want to configure a LAN connection to LAN for the E2000 at the end of the House and two floors to expand my network.

I'm pretty saavy network and thought it would be a snap. But I am running into trouble and hoping someone can help.

Here are the steps I took:

1. I ran a CAT5 connection to the basement where the E1000 must be configured.

2. I have hard reset the E1000 to factory default

3. I have connected my laptop to the E1000 via a LAN port. At this stage the E1000 is NOT on the network

4. I configured the E1000 with an IP 192.168.1.2 - my main router (E2000) is set to 192.168.1.1 and the departure of a.100 so this IP ranges should cause no conflict

5. I disabled DHCP

6. I disabled NAT

7. I saved settings and rebooted the router

8. I deleted the connection to the laptop and plugged the CAT 5 run from the E2000 - LAN 1 port on both (no WAN/Internet port used)

At this point, I expected the E1000 to act as an Access Point, but it is not working properly. The first thing I notice is that the E1000 which should now be the access point broadcasts name of the router (something like Cisco 54653) even if this isn't a SSID broadcast but only the name of the router. It's weird, I think.

I tried to restart E2000 both E1000 with the modem, no luck. I tried different IPs for the just in case E1000, but once again no luck, the wireless is not extended.

Any tips or advice? I'm doing something wrong?

Any help is appreciated.

Fixed... the question was in fact the firmware. I had everything set up, but after it kept locking up just try to access it, I thought a 2.1 firmware wouldn't hurt.

Of course, my up to was a 1.0 and after a quick update... boom we have lift off.

Thank you very much for everyone's help.
