Oops, me need Specsavers lol

Back to router two and disable DHCP (as you said), change it's IP and off we go, it's a switch

Let me explain the set up modem and router 1 downstairs wired, lan 1 of router 1 to router 2 internet wired,
lan 1 of router 2 to computer upstairs working but drops connection does the box use router as DHCP server need to be unticked?

Personally I would flash the second router with DD-WRT and then configure it as a wireless bridge - this will give you two routers with the same SSID and password - increase your wireless signal around the house and give you lan ports available to use from both routers. Its pretty straightforward and lots of tuts on the DD-WRT wiki!!

Yes, untick the box and give the router an IP address to suit i.e. on the same network as router 1.

why are the 2 routers IP on different subnets then .. I have three routers at home all conencted via long ethernet cable. Router 1 is 192.168.1.1 Router 2 192.168.1.2 and Router 3 192.168.1.3 - all have wifi enabled but different SSID and DHCP disabled on router 2 and 3. As stated by others, it becomes a normal switch.

when the superhub is in modem only mode only one port on the back is active its the one nearest the coax cable
