Hi,

Thanks to everyone for your answers.

Take the un-used router; Go into its configuration; Disable the Internal

already belongs to any other device in your LAN (if it does, change it to
something else. best something on a different netmask altogether...);

Then, disconnect one of the devices on your currently active 4 port router;
Connect a cable between the now vacant port to one of the LAN (note: NOT the
WAN!) ports of the un-used router. Then you can use the extra vacant ports
of the previously un-used router as an extension to your existing network.
(The 4 ports in any common router are actually a switch...)


Thanks!  This is just the kind of elegant solution I was looking for.

Geoff.
