Router 1 = modem...

 

Connect modem to your home computers, and a switch.

 

Place switch in your lab.

 

Connect lab computers and servers to switch.

Do you want a separate network, or the same network with access via both routers.

have you thought about using ubiquiti?

because it shows you having 2 routers when in my opinion 1 router and  2 aps would work better

I wouldn't make another hop just for your lab.  I say just throw a switch in there and call it a day.  I think it'd be a little ridiculous to subnet a separate network in your house.

I would rather not mess up my home network instead of have a hole separate network for my servers.

I just don't understand your reasoning.  Have you done any research on network setups?

I would like control over the internet that my server get.

you could grab an old cisco layer 3 switch off craigslist or something and have them on separate vlans then.  Doesn't make sense to have another router in your setup.

ok. I really don't know networking that much and that to me is a simple setup plus easy

I get what your trying to achieve.

Having on a different network (known as a subnet) bellow your home one.

 

For example on how to set it up you would have your home networking (call the home router router0 and the lab one router1) like normal (e.g. 192.168.0.x/24)

Then connect router0 LAN port to router1 WAN port.

On router1 you would have it configured on a different subnet e.g. 192.168.1.x/24

There is a lot more as well but i think these video i watched a while back explain it.

For stuff on networking i found this very good (i have watch most of it)

What budge and does it only need to be a router (e.g. not AP built in)

Just need a basic router and if ap is built in that will fine.

I was thinking this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cisco-1800-Series-341-0135-03-Network-Router-S945534-/381702217690?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368#viTabs_0
