Usually, the more public router would connect to the internet modem, and would also handle DHCP. It would have no encryption.
The private router would be wired to the public router through LAN ports, have a different IP number (set manually, eg public=192.168.0.1, private=192.168.0.2), have DHCP turned off, and be set to broadcast on a different wifi channel. It would use encryption -- probably WEP if there are non-windows devices that need to connect wirelessly, and if you can set it to only allow the MAC addresses or IPs of your office devices, do so.
Your office devices would have fixed IP numbers (outside the range assigned by DHCP).
Use firewalls to protect the wired devices, and use passwords for file sharing. |
