I'm looking to setup a home network with two APs connected by ethernet. I think I understand the default network settings for use as a single cerowrt network but I'm struggling how to wrap my brain around how a second router should be configured so that the second access point isn't just another level of NAT deeper inside the first router.</blockquote>
