Re: Daisy chaining 2 routers together?
My advice is to attach the linksys wrt54G as your only router hooked up to the cable modem. I would assign the MN-100 a LANIP manually (ie in the MN-100 LAN menu) within the subnet of the linksys but outside its Dynamic DHCP pool. I would then turn DHCP off in the MN-100 (as well as rip). Plug one of the MN-100 LAN ports into one of the Linksys LAN ports. The MN-100 will act solely as a switch.
You will have 6 wired ports available. (assuming both routers are 4 port routers).
This Faq is helpful (just ignore the wireless aspect rest is same same)

I disagree with preston on this one. Its not a difficult task and is a helpful learning process on the capabilities and structure of a router. Give it a go, will be here to help. (its not like learning linux or anything  )
If the MS-100 does not perform up to your standards as a switch then consider buying a switch.
