There's a lot of ridiculousness that led up to my decision to try to do this but basically...my primary wireless router is my Netgear WGT624v3 which is plugged into my cable modem. Then I have a second wireless router (Linksys Wireless-B BEFW11S4) connected to my Netgear from LAN port to LAN port. The internet seems to work on both. My motivation for doing this was that for whatever reason other people in my house can't connect to any wireless networks that have security (or at least WPA) set on them, but I definitely want WPA2-AES set on my wireless for security. So my netgear is secured and the linksys is unsecured so that both interests can access the same internet connection.
My main question is, does having the unsecured wireless router connected to my secured wireless router compromise the security? If so is there a way to isolate the linksys so that it doesn't compromise security but can still access the internet?
Any info would be appreciated, thanks!
BTW, it's of no importance for any services like port forwarding or anything to successfully work on the unsecured linksys router, just web access.
