Hi, need a little help in setting up a 2nd router as a slave,the slave router is a d-link dsl 3780, i have turned off dhcp and firewall,changed ip address from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.2, have set up wireless to same as primary router settings. The primary router is a huawei hg633,have changed ip range from 192.168.1.2-192.168.l.254 to 192.168.1.3-192.168.1.254.The problem i have is setting up the static ip of the slave router in the primary router settings, can anyone help me with this part. thanks

Perhaps trying to connect them LAN to LAN (the switch part only) if you are connecting the WAN port of router two to a LAN port of router one. It might be something to do with having two router devices on the same subnet (even with DHCP off on router two).

Gateway on router two is set to router one IP address?

Might need some sort of bridging enabled as router two will be doing NAT to devices behind its WAN IP if that is how it is connected. Without this I think router one will not be able to assign IP addresses to clients on LAN ports of router two as it is only aware of the WAN port IP address of router two as a client.

Thanks for the info guys, was trying to connect slave router to extend lan ports, so basically connect cat cable between routers using lan ports.
