Connecting 2 Routers?!

[MarkVDBERK]

I have to routers that I want to connect (yes, not the wiser choice I know...), nonetheless, I have a Linksys WAP + 4 port switch, and a D-LINK router.

Does this sound right?

Use the D-LINK to share the internet through the WAN port.
Connect the Linksys with the Uplink on the D-LINK.
Configure the Linksys to be ONLY a ROUTER, not a gateway.

Make sure both routers are on the same Subnet.
ie (24-Bit Mask) and different addresses.

Does that sound like it should work?

Sounds like it.
Actually, if you would use search option in this forum - you would find the same topic where people already talked about it =)

Yea, you can do it. Done it many many times. I know that I have posted some instructions here before.....but I'm having trouble finding them. For now....here is a little instruction on cascading ports through two firewalls if you need to do so.
