Setting Up An Offi<strong>ce</strong> Private Router<br />

Off The Main Router<br />

By Peter Nadal<br />

I get this question all the time “Is it possible to hook up a 2 nd router for my offi<strong>ce</strong><br />

only?” and the answer is “Yes!” so, it is not hard, just a little know how. The main<br />

thing you need to know; where is the main and how far away is the offi<strong>ce</strong>,<br />

recreation room or any room you want to set up. Example, my bar router is hooked<br />

up to my main router from 18 feet of Cat5e cable.<br />

Cable cost would have been<br />

around $15 at a hardware store<br />

the likes of Menards or Lowes,<br />

but, I already had cat5e cables in<br />

my closet<br />

Now, we need to hook up the router to the main, plug your cable to an empty plug<br />

behind the main router the other end plug the cat5e cable in to the client router LAN<br />

port.<br />
