Question Superhub running a 5Ghz wireless, second router running at 2.4Ghz wireless

Hi,

I am thinking about getting a new mobile phone that will allow connection to WiFi.

I currently have the virgin media superhub on 5Ghz, if the mobile phone doesn't work on 5Ghz, but need 2.4Ghz, I was thinking about connecting a router into the Superhub and connection to that on 2.4Ghz.

The reason I am using 5Ghz on the superhub is I get a better wireless speed and connection where I live.

Now this is what I am thinking


Superhub (normal mode)
|
|-(Port 1) PC (wired)
|-(Port 2) PC (wired)
|-(Port 3) Xbox 360 (wired)
|-(Wireless 5Ghz) PC

Now if I was to connect a router into Port 4 on the Superhub and have it work with the mobile phone on 2.4Ghz wireless.

Now my problem is don't know much about networking.

How would I setup the second router on port 4, I mean would I turn off dhcp, leave it on what or put it on another network IP ie 192.168.1.1 with dhcp?

How would the wireless work on the 2nd router, would I need dhcp on the 2nd router?

Any ideas how I would set this up?

The superhub is running on 192.168.0.X router ip 192.168.0.1

Thanks
