Hey all,
I've received a second router from a friend of mine and I was wondering what can I do with it? It is a Linksys WRT120N, if that helps with anything.

You can use it as a dedicated wifi access point to offload some work off of your main router. The WRT120N support ddwrt, so it could be setup as a "mesh" with another ddwrt AP.
Thanks for replying. How would I go about setting this up? Please explain it to me in beginner terms, I've never done anything like this. I've heard of DD-WRT, and other firmware that I can't remember now. Is DD-WRT the best one to go with? I'm kind of in the dark when it comes to these things. Any advice you can give me would be very helpful!

I am using one as a dedicated access point. Works fine.
All the documentation you need is on http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/index
That said, I have not seen much development lately.

You use that router for wireless instead of your main router.

You can set it up as a Switch and let your main Router assign IPs.
There can be multiple uses for multiple routers and switches, extra firewall layer for example. Also if you have two wireless routers, for use of those other wireless devices that operate on the same band frequency you can assign them to say the slower router and then assign you main pc to the faster router and it want knock down you connection speed. Most newr cards have dual band and many newer routers do to, so this is not an issue as it was a few year ago. But you can however spread them out and double your coverage area. But this is only if they are both wireless.
