Ok guys so I'm pretty computer savy but I struggle with networking. So I have a typical Lynksys 4 port router, sorry dont know the model since I'm at work now. So i'm trying to connect my Lynksys to my Wireless Pre-N Belkin router. So I read a few guides online but I am not sure how to do some of the things they say like setting your router base adress to any IP between 192.168.1.151 to 192.168.1.250 How do I even change my router IP? Also how do I go about connecting them together, which ports do I connect to which?

Why are you trying to connect your Linksys wired router to your wireless router at all, do you just need more wired ports?

No i'm trying to connect the wireless belkin to a wired linksys...also I am doing this because my linksys is not wireless and for some reason the belkin lags me when I play games so I figure I can not waste the belkin and use it for its wireless why using the linksys for games and such....

"First Step: Plug a single computer to the second Router (make sure that the computer is configured to obtain DHCP automatically from the Router), change the IP address of the Router so that it's in the same subnet as the main Router "
yes how do I change the IP address of the ROuter so its the same as the main router

actually now my wired network seems to not let me connect to firefox or explorer but my wireless is still working fine...i dont get it but it seems the only way to fix it is to restart the computer but then it just drops the net again in a little bit however my wireless is uneffected...
