Hi

In layman terms:

Actually it all depends - some routers have their proprietary cables - normally they are crossed cables.

However with the reply "just another yahoo freak" gave, the problem that may arise is the security aspect in one single router.

Straight

They were designed to be connected to another device.

Most these days are auto sensing anyway, so it wouldn't matter.
