I have 3 routers between my pc and the internet counting the comcast device. They're all in router mode, I think. I know mine are. At least I've never changed the comcast device. I suppose it could be in bridge mode. Each device uses dhcp to get configuration from the next. The only gotcha would be if you need to do port forwarding into the network. The other slight disadvantage if ganging routers is that there is a slight increase of latency of about 10 - 20 mS per router. If you're trying to do ultra precise time setting from ntp or something, that could create additional problems. I don't do any port forwarding and I've given up worrying if my pc clock is less than 500 mS off.<br clear="all">
