There are five people living with me at the moment and we have a Netgear router that only has 4 ports (and wireless of course). I wanted to set up my D-Link router as a hub so that we could stay on the same network. This is how I did it. (It should work with most routers)

My hardware:

• D-Link-524
• Netgear WGR614
• (Shitty) AT&T DSL

Steps to do it:

1. Configure one router normally, setting wireless or whatnot to whatever you’d like. (This was the Netgear router)
2. Turn on the second router and plug in a computer (in a LAN port) so that you can log in.
3. Configure whatever wireless settings you’d like on the second router (or turn it off if you’d like).
4. Disable DHCP on the second router so that the first router handles assigning IP addresses.
5. Connect the first router (from a LAN port) to the second router (to a LAN port - if you connect to the WAN port, it won’t work).

That should be it.
