Simple networking question...

[Thraxen]

My PC and primary router are upstairs. I've got a hardwire run through the walls to a faceplate/jack in the den downstairs where my XBox is currently connected. But I am now going to have multiple devices that need network connections in the den. I have an unused WRT54G router. Is there anyway to use the extra router downstairs as just a hub/switch and have IPs assigned to devices behind the second router by my primary router? Would I just need to disable DHCP on the second router?

I'll give that a try. Thanks!

Per your description you should disable the DHCP server (as the linked article says), and also disable the wireless portion of your WRT54G, otherwise you would have a wireless access point serving the neighborhood
