Here is the setup. One laptop, wired/wireless connection. One iPad 2. Zyxel DSL Modem that is also a wired router. NEW Asus RT-N16. Basically I want to create a wireless network using the Asus.

Be sure the two routers have different subnets. Perhaps one at 192.168.1.1 and the other at 192.168.10.1 ...
