Wow, that was easy! I apologize to the other contributors. I was going to split the points but made a mistake when I accepted the answer. I don't see any way to 'UnDo', so will pay closer attention next time.

I have a Linksys WRT54G wireless router. I would like to use it as a wireless access point only. I have a new VPN router for the network but it does not have wireless capability. Is it possible to reconfigure the Linksys to be just an access point? If so, How?

Change Linksys WRT54G router to access point only

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
