Not a good idea. After looking into the matter a bit deeper, I was able to find the configuration menu of my custom SSID and wifi code.

click on to Wireless ----- advanced----primary networks---- now change to whatever you want. I changed my SSID to AZB Home (instead of motorola blah blah blah). I used WPA security and made up my own password that no one can guess. I see there are iphone apps that can crack or seek out the factory wifi passwords many famous name-brand unit come with as default wifi code setting. If you change the default factory password that came with the router, then the wifi cracking app is defeated.
Your method of connecting a router on top of another router is unnecessary and inefficient. Try it the way I told you and you will be fine.
AZB
Thanks for posting the info, however with my set up I have:
2 hardware firewalls.
2 WPA keys instead of only one to be sniffed.
My own network; if someone else's is sharing your network they can see your files (unless you protect them), with my set up only I can see my files, although the network is shared with some others in the household.
As far as inefficiency....well, I do get the same perks as if I were hooked straight to the Tricom issued router.
In an essence, my connected router is hooked up as a repeater/bridge and much safer.
