Yes, this is Section 3.2 in the link I provided earlier.

2.1) You will need to reconfigure the remote router, BEFORE you connect it to the coax.
- Perform a hard reset on the Actiontec to restore factory defaults.
- Connect a PC to a LAN port of the Actiontec.
By default, DHCP server should be enabled on the Actiontec, so no need to set a static IP address on the PC.- Login to the router at 192.168.1.1
How do I connect the primary and secondary actiontec? Do I disconnect the primary and plug the secondary into coax and do all this, and then when finished plug the primary back in? Or, do i Ieave the primary plugged in the whole time?
First you set up the secondary router by connecting it to any computer using an Ethernet cable. Assuming you have reset the device, go to 192.168.1.1 and make the necessary changes in router number two.
Leave the primary router alone (unless you decide on a scheme with a fixed IP for the second router) and it will supply an IP to router two, which will serve as a simple wireless access point. Detailed settings and a step-by-step cookbook procedure are provided in the references given above. Good luck.
