Hello there
I just bought a new Toshiba Satellite laptop and a wireless router to go with it.
My question is, is there any way to connect my old Belkin router to my new D-link so that I can use all 8 wired ports?
The belkin is a model F5D5231-4
and the D-Link is a DI-524

You could use the wireless router as a access point (Wired and wireless) by shutting off DHCP on the wireless and going from the LAN port on the wired to the LAN port (Not the WAN) on the wireless , you will loose only one port .

Or just use the D-link alone with a 8 Port switch.
