You don't want two routers. If you are trying to get extended wireless
coverage, you want a wireless access point (or you can use a router
configured as an access point). If you want extended wired coverage, you
just need a switch.

Unless you have two IP from the provider, it won't do you any good.

If you're just trying to share a single connection between the same
network area, put a router on the floor and a network switch on the
other.

For the average home user, no, it's not possible. Residential accounts
generally are allowed one IP address, what you want to do would require two.
If your ISP provides two then your all set, if not you'll likely have to pay
extra for an additional address. There are much better (and cheaper) ways to
accomplish what your trying to do.

It is possible, but probably not what you want to do.

You *can* plug one router into your broadband modem, then the other router
into any port on the first, but if the two routers are set to the same
internal IP address - for example, 192.168.0.1 - the second will not be able
to get any Internet access.

You have to change one of them to another address (outside of what the first
router provides in DHCP, and make sure that the second router provides no
DHCP addresses in the range of the first) or range , such as 192.168.2.1.

This is sometimes done to provide a secondary network that is blocked from
machines on the primary network, but still has Net access.

If you want to just provide one network and more ports in another room, you
only need a switch, which will usually not require any configuration.

But you generaly can not plug two modems into the same broadband modem and
have them both work.

I would suggest that you should rephrase your question with a bit more
detail as to what you are trying to accomplish.

Patrick,

There are two or three options I would recommend, depending upon
distance, interference, and the number of Ethernet devices you want to
connect vs. the number of 802.11a/b/g/n WiFi devices you want to connect.
Before you get started, if you want to use WiFi (except the antiquated
802.11a), hold a garage sale and dispose of all 2.4GHz cordless phones,
baby monitors, x10 cameras, etc. and replace your cordless phone with a
5.8GHz digital or DECT 6.0 phone (and either go up or down for the other
devices, if any). Free up the 2.4GHz bandwidth.
Next, many WiFi routers can be used as "range extenders". Plug one
WiFi router into your broadband modem. Configure it. Setup WPA
encription (more secure than WEP). Go to the next floor, preferably
almost directly above or below the location of your first router. Plug
your second router into an outlet, and use a computer (laptop is ok) to
plug into the second router and configure it as a range extender (check
the manual or help from the manufacturer on how to do this). This works
particularly well if the floor/ceiling does NOT have too much steel in it.
OR, you can simply plug router one into the broadband modem, then run
an Ethernet cable to the next floor, and plug in a second router (which
can be setup with a different IP address & DHCP pool, OR set it up to
pass the IP addresses from the first router). WiFi will be available on
both floors if you use WiFi routers. This should also give you the
option of using the 4 ports on the back of the WiFi router on the
"slave" floor.
OR, if you don't want WiFi, or if you have too many devices to plug in
with Ethernet cables (non-WiFi devices), plug your router directly into
the broadband modem, then run an Ethernet cable to the next floor, and
plug in an Ethernet switch. You can add additional Ethernet switches,
wireless (WiFi) access points, and WiFi range extenders/repeaters for
additional coverage, as needed.
For any of these scenarios, if you desire WiFi coverage, you can also
consider the purchase of a "range booster" type antenna or antennae for
your WiFi router(s).
Also, for best coverage, try to install the WiFi routers near the
middle of the building. If you install them at one end of the building,
people at the other end of the building may get little or no signal
(depending upon distance, wall material, interference, etc.).
