connect how? Wired connection between the two, or wireless bridge type setup?

simple answer would be connect a crossover cable from a switchport on each router. Then they are connected.

Very few Entry Level Wireless Cable/DSL Routers can talk one to the other (98% can Not do it).

Unless the data sheet lists the Router as a WDS,:thumbsup: or having the capacity to be configured as a Client, Group Bridge, or a Repeater. It will not talk to another Wireless Router.:thumbsdown:

The Buffalo 802.11g and some of the Belkin 802.11g are WDS
