My current home network has a Wildblue satellite internet service connected 
to a Linksys Broadband Firewall Router.  There are ethernet connections from 
it to our two computers (XP and XP Pro) and two dvr's.

I recently bought an HP dv9260 notebook with an internal wireless G, running 
Vista Ultimate.  I want to connect this to my network wirelessly, so I 
purchased a Linksys Wireless - N broadband router.  I also bought a USB card 
(G) to connect to the dvr and will get another card if the first one will 
work, thereby eliminating two long cables in the basement.

I expect this all to work without problem.  :)

What I am wondering is: if I piggyback my new wireless router on top of the 
old "firewall" router, will that give any added security to my network?  The 
satellite internet, while much faster than dialup, is still only 1.5Mbs, 
which should not be affected by the additional router, I would think.


TIA,

Dean Kukral
