    Hi all,

    Just a quick question,

    Was in my mates office the other day and he's a 4 port router, all ports are been used, He now wants to add a Network printer and 1 more PC to the network. He has another router the same at the other (4 ports) one,

    Can i link both routers, Like use the In on the second router and an Out on the one already in use ?

    Sounds like you have two routers with built-in switches (very common). You should be able to use the spare router just as a switch, but I'd advise making sure you don't have the DHCP service running on the second one.

    You wouldn't use the external interface (unless you want to create two separate networks, e.g. if you wanted a DMZ), just connect one of the internal interfaces to the first router, then add your other hosts to other internal interfaces.

    the 2 routers I have are the same. I think they are Eircom routers.

    I want to plug one into the other as if it was a normal PC and use the extra ports. Kinda daisy chain effect
