Hi Anti-Phish,
Thank you for your reply, and you as well Captain. I did very carefully follow the process outlined in that post and I've actually gone through it several times to make sure I didn't goof up or miss a step - but no luck.
Everytime I connect the coax on the secondary router, the primary router DHCP connection to verizon disconnects and never re-establishes itself. Although, everything else on the internal network side seems to be working like a champ!
I'm beginning to wonder if the intructions are applicable to the software on my router. The procedure refers to a connection labeled "Broadband Coax" but my software refers to it as "Broadband Connection (Ethernet/Coax)". Eitherway, I still disabled it and the PPPoE connection.
If you've got some ideas and want to be a second set of eyes, I would be happy to share some screen shots of my primary and secondary routers.
Here is the screenshot of my primary router "Network Connections" screen - the secondary router looks identical - in terms of the labels it uses, but keep in mind that after I complete the process on it - the status for the Broadband entry and the PPPoE entry read "Disabled".
