Hi want to setup internet in my house, i have a BT home hub and a Netgear dg834

My BT home hub is my main router and is connected up to the internet

If i connected the netgear router up stairs could i connect to the internet tho the BT home hub

So basic the netgear is a access point for my lan pc

Thanks

Yes you can use two, you can connect the new router to your existing router, then you can add anything you want to the new router. However if you want to add more ports or expand the range of the network, and want to stay wired, I would recommend a switch over a router.
