Can I run another wireless router from one of the LAN ports of my Dlink
614+? I have a Cat5 connection to the basement, and would like to use
another wireless router down there? Will that work?

I would think it would work - as long as they don't interfere with each other.

Yes. Is it a wireless router or access point? If it's a wireless router,
then you will want to bypass the router functionality. To do that, don't
plug anything into the WAN port. Use a crossover cable to connect the
wireless router LAN port to the network. You may also need to disable the
DCHP in the wireless router for good measure.

If you set up both wireless with the same SSID, you may be able to "roam"
between the 2 wireless routers without disconnecting.
