I dont think this can be done, but an aquaintance of mine has a
SMC 4 ports wired router and a Netgear wireless also 4 ports router.
He hooked them up with 1 output cable from the SMC connected to the
Internet Input port of the Netgear wireless and acts as input fo the
WAN port.

The SMC itself is connected to the Internet thru its own WAN port.

Everything seems to "wor" for a few months until I tried to manage
the different routers' web server pages where the configuration menus
are.

The SMC is 192.168.2.1 and
the Netgear is 192.168.1.1

Everytime after that the network went down and dead in the water.
No computer can see each other and Internet is wiped out.

I am not surprised but can anyone tell me Whyor how this set up
manage to work at any other time before the I tried to access
192.168.x.1 etc ??

TIA

What is the DHCP addess that the SMC is getting from what ever you use
to get the internet (not mentioned) to the SMC?

There could be a conflict of IP addresses is a guesstimate.

Thanks for your msg. I tried it at home and it also "worked". Just
no network.

BTW the SMC gets the Internet from a DSL modem.

What DHCP IP address is the DSL modem giving to the SMC? That may be
where the conflict is if it is giving it either a 192.168.2.? or
192.168.1.? thus there would be an ip conflict and why you can't get to
their web server pages.
Just a hunch as I had that happen once to me before I realized it and
changed the DHCP range.
