How to Link D-Link Routers
You may opt to install and link two wireless routers, instead of one, when you wish to expand your network and connect more devices to it. Each D-Link router has four data ports, enabling you to connect four devices to one router. You can effectively increase the number of serviceable devices to six if you connect two D-Link routers together -- as one of the four data ports on each router in this configuration will be designated for communicating with the other router.
