Wireless router wired to the router wireless help?

I have a linksys wireless router and have run an ethernet cable to my desktop which is outside my house. I have the ethernet running into a hub for computer cable then switch (hub). I want to add wireless access in the office. Can I add another wireless router to the desktop and plug it into the power switch? How can I do this?

  1. Follow the instructions for 'LAN to LAN' Cascading in the link below:

In waterfall or connect a Linksys router to another router

Thing to keep in mind when cascading a router:

  1. Change the IP address of the secondary router to something like 192.168.1.254 so its on the same network, but is not in conflict with the main router
  2. Make sure that the DHCP service is disabled on the secondary router
  3. Make sure that nothing is ever connected to the internet port of the secondary router
  4. Differentiate the wireless SSID by location (Ex: downstairs) and the channel
