2 wireless routers on one connection?

[jmc]

I currently have verizon DSL, and I got the wireless modem package for it. My girlfriend wants to use the T-mobile @ Home service which requires a linksys wireless router be hooked up to your internet connection.

Now.... can I use both routers on the same connection with no problems?

I can't dump the verizon router, because its also the modem....

and I cant dump the t-mobile router because its required.

Any help would be great.

Cascading routers can be a bad idea because it can potentially cause ip conflicts and all sorts of screwy issues that I'm not smart enough to explain. But chances are, it'll work without a problem.

If it's anything like the shitty 3 LinkSys routers I got, you just connect the other routers (using the normal ethernet ports on the back {typically marked 1-4}, not the one for internet) into the one acting as the internet gateway (which would be the Verizon router in your case since you have no other option), then look for the routing options on the other routers and tell them to not act as the gateway, and instead be an extension of the main router.
(which in the case of my LinkSys routers, Advanced Routing -> Change Gateway to Router)

Never had a problem with multiple routers myself with regards to stability and the DHCP. Just needed a good wifi signal for around the house since it's bloody old and wifi signals apparently suffer greatly when traveling through both a wooden floor and a 2-layer brick wall.
