Yes, you can, but I would suggest against it. Having 2 networks from 2 routers is going to do more bad than good since you'll have too much interference in the same area coming from them. I suggest you check your router if it allows a guest network so you can run 2 networks from 1 router.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You should be able to but beware of loops. If all of your hardwired equipment is on one or the other, this should work fine.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. I would recommend using this when you want 2 Networks - where one Network can't see what the other Network is doing. For instance: From from this switch, say line 1, to a router to a VoIP phone and computer (1 Network); from this switch, say line 3, to a different router to computers (2 Network). The Routers create a 'firewall' between the WAN and LAN sides. Neither Network can 'see' what's going on with the other Network.
