Networking routers - Part 1

Okay......... This post isn't exactly about servers as such but it is about networking. You see my house has the need for a wireless router that can connect hard wired to around 10 computers. In the past I have tried things such as a network switch which didn't work because when one computer was being used as a media server, it couldn't connect to the internet. I also have used 2 routers in a way there the second router's WAN port is connected to one of the first routers LAN ports (The second router had an address of 192.168.0.2 where the first one had 192.168.0.1) . That was the best I could get, but still not great as the computers on the second router could not print from the network printer connected to the first router, nor could media be streamed between the two.

ME, being the genius I am, had an epiphany...... well Google had one for me seeing I am most definitely not a genius, and I figured out how to solve my issue. Will finish this on Monday:)
