Router after another router on my network.

[bitsu]

I've just bought a TP-LINK router ( TL-R841N) and I want to plug it into the switch/hub connected to the modem. I'm having a bit of trouble setting up the IP's and getting it to work.

From cmd prompt -

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

I'm not sure what settings to make or what WAN/LAN IP's to set.

So it would be like Modem>Switch/hub>Router>my PC's

Thanks.

Why do you have a Switch/hub between the Modem & the Router?

Agree with above. It should be modem-->(WAN)router-->(LAN)switch.
