How to run two routers in series

No, this is not the port that you should use to link routers (unless you have a good reason to or you just like to do things the hard way).

Like Nodsu says, there's any easy way and the "offical" (ie hard) way.

Connecting router-1 to router-2 using lan ports on both ends is the Easy way
for several reasons. The only issue to to be sure router-2 has DHCP disabled

You can have 3 in series also what I do here..

1- DHCP enabled wired
2- DHCP disabled (wireless access point bridge)
3- DHCP disabled (wireless access point bridge)

just keep daisy chaining them using LAN-LAN connections.

you're only exposed to the robustness of router-1

Well true .. the main router is doing the work...

Two Routers, sort of similiar w/a twist

Hi, I am not sure what i am missing, but here it is. I have a linksys wireless g router already. I would like to add a new linksys wireless N router to my network. I want only 1 pc to use via wireless the new N router (it is my entertainment server into my home theatre). All the rest of the pcs and wii in the house can continue to connect to the wireless G router. My G router IP 192.168.10.1 (has to be this way for work's VPN). So is it best to use static on the N pc, can I use static ips w/wireless? I am thinking the process out first before changing everything....thank you in advance. PS-the reason if not clear I am using the N router only for the entertainment pc is because i want the fastest, cleanest, best connection for streaming video/audio, DVR, etc....

VPNs will frequently alter the routing to as to inhibit access except thru the VPN itself.

in this discussion on routers and switches, at the bottom are two ways to add a second router,
so that your system (eg system#5) might have a VPN and not impact the other systems.

If you don't need five ip addresses, then you will not need the switch
