hi,
I would like to install 2 networks under one cable internet connection. I have an AirPort Extreme now which blocks my network camera from streaming the videos online. I tried port forwarding and other methods recommended by my dvr camera setup but didn't work. I would like to install a Netgear R 6300 under the cable modem in addition to airport extreme.
 
Solution
Pretty simple:


    just unplug the airport from the modem
    plug the netgear router into the cable modem, set it up
    then plug the airport into an empty ethernet port on the netgear.


The only thing you might need to adjust would be the DHCP IP address ranges provided by each router to make them different subnets. make sure they are not the same.
