Much as I hate to agree with Randy, that is shockingly good value - I 
really like Netgear products, although we are going through a bit of a 
rough patch at the moment. Just make sure you don't connect the second 
one to the first using its WAN port.

Working from this diagram 
<http://www.zeelandnet.nl/helpdesk/upload/rp614_rear.gif>
Connect the socket marked "2" on the first router to your cable modem, 
and connect the two RP614s with a cable between any of the sockets 
marked "1". Connect all PCs to empty "1" sockets & leave "2" on the 
second RP614 empty. Before you connect the two together you might need 
to log into the second RP614 to change its IP address & disable DHCP.

Stroller.
