Why not explain what you did in case someone else is pondering the same problem?

thats not a bad idea i ran a cable from router 1 to router 2 i turned off the wireless feature on the 2nd router which u dont need to do i also turned off dhcp on the 2nd router and made the pc`s to obtain ip address automatically.

but now i have the problem. the pc`s on the network can see each other in mshome but cannot ping or access each other. i have ran the network setup wizard on each and firewalls are turned off but no joy.?

Hi, a simpler solution would be to use a switch instead of a 2nd router.
