2 Routers

[INTELCRAZY]

How would I make two routers to work together... I have my Westell 327W, which is my modem + router, but I want to install a WRT54G just for my servers. How would I do this? I have never put 2 together before...


Thanks

Use the uplink port.. if not labeled use #1.

well set it up first. give it a static ip the gateway... etc then like trizoy said DONT plug it into the internet/input port. put it in one of the 1/4 ports

Just connect the main router using one of the numbered ports, to the WAN port on the other router. You should turn off DHCP on the one connected to your server though.

Okay so on my Westell, just connect to ports 1-4 then the WAN port on the Linksys or to 1-4 on the Linksys?

I'm not sure how yours is setup, but on the router that is connected to the modem, connect the cable to port 1-4, then on the other router connect it to the WAN port.
