Connecting a router to another (complicated)

Hey guys,

So first let me explain my problem with the equipment I have. I have an ADSL router, a normal router, a usb WiFi dongle, and my pc.

I wanted to connect my adsl to my computer, currently it's connected via a WiFi dongle to my pc, the problem is, that the latency skyrockets , generally it sits around 70 ping in cs but frequently spikes and I lag out to hell. I believe the problem lies in the dongle. I wanted to connect my regular router to my pc and then connect the ADSL to that, I only have a short LAN cable and thus can't directly connect the ADSL to my pc.

 

So, is there a way I can configure the routers so that the regular one connects to my ADSL while the regular one is connected to my pc.

I know this sounds complicated and I should just run a longer a LAN cable but hey, I want to try this at the very least so if you can help me any way in understanding how to do this, please do reply

Thanks.

plug one of the outputs of the switch of the ADSL router into the signal source for the normal one. Then plug your PC into the normal one.

What models of devices have you got so we can confirm what you want to do will work?
