Not sure why you want to do this - you could use a router in router mode for the wireless, but you will have two different networks in the house.
Consider to configure the second router to wireless access point mode.
Thank you for the quick reply.
So if I understand correctly, I must:
- Connect the internet cable --> to the modem.
- From the Modem connect --> the Router.
- From the router connect --> the switch.
So can I connect two routers in the following manner?
- Internet cable --> Modem
- Modem --> Router 1
- Router 1 --> Switch
- From switch --> Router 2 thru which I will connect my devices to wifi
- From switch --> Other ethernet cables

I have a GS316 unmanaged switch. The connections are as follows Arris 6190 cable internet router to Netgear GS316. The GS 316 is then connected to my house Ethernet wires. The Ethernet connects to Nighthawk AC 2600 Smart WiFi Router and a Samsung TV and works fine. When I try to connect my any computer to the rest of the Ethernet, it states the Internet is not there. I see the lights on the GS 316 light up. I am thinking this was the wrong Ethernet switch for the network. The installation sheets show this should work. Is there a Ethernet switching device that will do what I want, instead of the GS 316
Thanks

Hi Anthony,
I did the same mistake. Now I can connect to all my ethernet cables.
Can you change your connections and check?
- Connect the Arris 6190 cable internet router to your Nighthawk AC 2600 Smart WiFi Router.
- From the Nighthawk AC 2600 Smart WiFi Router connect the GS316 ethernet switch.
- Now from the 316 Ethernet switch connect all those ethernet cables to different devices.
Thank you,
Mandar
