    A question - for a lan gaming party to increase the number of ports I know you can attach the 2nd router with dhcp off to a lan port of router number one.
    Can the 1st router be attached to the second through the wan port of router number 2 (dhcp off) or is this the only way to use it as a hub and use a lan port on router number 2 ?

    Connecting 2 Routers
    Provides basic connection info. The answer to your question -- the two routers connect together via "Lan" connections, not Wan. The short thread deals with connecting a wired router to a Wifi router. Either way, router "two" is a access point
