I'm surprised that you don't know how to do a search , so I give you a lesson so you can do this in the future .
1. First in the search box I typed " how to get a separate ip address using one modem and two routers "
2. The first selection on the search came up with this This
3. But there's lots of info to read , I like this read so far Thishttp://www.wikihow.com/Connect-Two-Routers but there's more to read and I may prefer another so ......
There you go, now you can search and most of the time, a question asked by folks are usually answered already using a search.

Hope this helps.....

Hi I'm sorry but I've done google research already.

I was on the page you provided me already the Tutorial clearly shows the connection between two routers with a cable.

But in my case I got no Cable aviable, all I have is Wireless Lan and I need to grab it, then let a router run it and create a separate subnet.

I hope you can help me now? Thanks

Since 192.168-adresses are managed by your DHCP-server, I'd start there with implementing your new network.

Please tell how. I have a hardware solution in mind but only woke up to you being upset. Give folk time to give ideas. I know a lot of new folk get upset if the answers are not fast enough.
