How do I set up a Wifi router when the main computer uses a router to get the internet?

My computer's internet is from Verizon and it has a router to connect it to the internet. Well I bought a Wifi router so that I could share the connection but I don't know how to set it up. I need help please!How do I set up a Wifi router when the main computer uses a router to get the internet?
We can draw a map like:



Router ---%26gt; Wifi Router ------%26gt; Wired/wireless computers.





You need to attach the router cable with the WAN side of wifi router and then attach all your computers with the Wifi router either through a cable or wirelessly.How do I set up a Wifi router when the main computer uses a router to get the internet?
Are you using a ';router'; that plugs directly into your computer rather than a separate box that is wired in? I have a friend who used one of those and tried to use that computer as a router / gateway using the cell card / router in that machine. In short, it didn't work.



You can buy a special router that accepts cell based router cards that then act as a normal wired router so you can connect other wireless routers (some may have a built in wireless so you don't have to get a separate one) and/or other computers to it.
