I started out with a single linksys router and switch. This satisfied
my 6 PC network. There is fileshare/printer share. With that setup,
I had a shared printer connected to one computer and utilized by 4. I
have decided to upgrade to include wireless internet and would like to
offer that to my clients. I want to make sure that my clients on
wireless can not access shared information between the PC's. This was
easily acheived by adding the router to the existing setup using the
WAN port and allowing it to be a DHCP Server. I have also purchased a
linksys print serve (now connected to the wireless router because this
is the only port I have available) and would like to be able to print
to it from all wired computers. Is there any way that I can get those
PC's on the first router and switch to see the print server on the
second router while still maintaining the security of my office
network from wireless users?

Here is the setup for my current network:

Cable Modem
Router 1 - Computer 1, 2, 3
Switch - Computer 4, 5, 6
Router 2 - Wireless + (3 empty ethernet ports)
Print Server
