Home and office network setup.

[jsherman14]

I am going to be setting up my network soon, and I want to have two different networks with one for my office so I can do day trading and modifying/ monitoring websites that i am hosting on some vps i rent. and with the second network for my family to watch tv with hulu and netflix and web search schoolwork etc...

can I connect the two routers straight into the firewall connected to my modem or do I need to
connect modem ==> firewall ==> and then cascade the routers with first router LAN to second router wan ?

If your firewall act as a router....which is highly likely...you can connect both router to the firewall. If you would run you firewall transparent you would need different router layout but if you knew how to setup a transparent firewall you would not be asking this question.
