I have a Cisco Gateway from My ISP and I am trying to connect another router to it to have 2 Separate Wifi networks but have the router use the internet created the gateway. But I also need the Gateway to have its Wifi Network as well.
Therefore 2 Separate Wifi networks create from a router and a ISP Gateway

Gateway : Rogers Cisco DPC3825 and the Router is a D-Link WBR2310
Thanks in advance,

Yes you can easily do this.

Just connect an ethernet cable from the LAN port of the Cisco gateway router to the WAN port of your other router. You will want to set the rotuers to use different wireless channels (1 and 11 is ideal) so that they do not conflict with each other.

Now doing it this way will allow all devices to have the internet. Now if device A is connected to Cisco's wifi network and device B is connected to the other router then device A and device B will not be able to communicate with each other.
