How do I add another wireless router to my network?
A second router that doesnt have wireless capability must be connected to the first router with an Ethernet cable. Plug one end of the cable into the new routers uplink port (sometimes labeled WAN or Internet). Plug the other end into any free port on the first router other than its uplink port.
