    You don't need two routers. All you need is a hub and a single router. You may use one router as a hub but you don't use the "to network" configuration unless you want to tell the router to point to the second router. You will have to set up an IP address for the first router to read the second router. Whatever the IP is that came with the router you can type that in the address bar of IE then tell it where to point.

    Or the easiest thing and cheaper thing to do is return the second router and purchase a hub. I am not sure how you have your computers networked. If you are just home networking this is the easiest way.
