What I think you need to do is connect the router b wan port from a pc
like the win2k server one or something. then from a lan port on router b
to lan port on router A. but yes, if you can, it would be easier to use
a switch for this if you are only using the Router B like a hub.
i know for myself i have connected 2 routers once. my sonicwall is
router 1 and belkin 802.llg as router 2. i have a hub in the garage. pc
was connected to belkin router lan port, wan port from belkin was
connected to hub. hub to lan port on sonicwall. cable modem connected to
wan port on sonicwall. belkin provided wireless to pcs behind it and it
just worked great. so the belkin was running as a wireless switch access
point and was also providing parental control for me. anyway it worked fine.
