Two Routers, two different networks?

[can_weld]

Hi, I have two routers from my ISP (UK) and was wondering if it is possible to set both routers up with different SSID's to have two separate networks from the same phone line (Like guest and employee networks)

 

Both routers are rather simple and I'm not sure if they have much more capability than turning ones and zeros into waves and back.

 

Thanks in advanced

You can have 2 ssids with their own subnets that can't talk using the same router if you want.

 

What models are these?

 

Do you have one or two lines from the isp?

I have one line from the ISP. The router in question is the 'EE Bright Box 2 wireless router', not entirely sure of the internals as most of the chips have nothing printed over them, or a heat sink soldered on.

does that router let you make multiple subnets? Id just make 2 subnets and then ahve one ssid per subnet.

When you say '2 routers', does one of them have your modem built into it? That'd make it a gateway, and you could daisy chain a regular router off of one of the wired ports on the gateway to the uplink port on the router. After that, how you configure things determines how easily devices on the tiers of network can speak to each other.

I have had a look, but cant seem to find anything to do with modems or subnets. Where would be the likely place that they are hiding?
