   I know how to do that, but for what purpose? There is nothing I would   
   gain from it. Have a matching DNS and DHCP server? I do not need it.   
      
   It would add complications that I do not need, starting with more   
   cables, more expense, more things to admin. Specially when the ISP   
   router is handling at least two VPN of its own, not documented. Those   
   would need to be handled by the secondary router as well in manners such   
   that the TV and the phone keep working.   
      
   No, thanks.
