Daisy-chain?
Ok, my question is can i daisy chain a router... My Surfboard and Dlink are in the back bed room and i have a 75 foot cat5 running from there to the living room to the xbox and my main rig in the dining room... I was going to hook up a security cam onto the network and some other things as well. but i didnt want 5 different 75 foot cables running through the house.

I often wonder if the voices in my head ever get frustrated because I'm just too damn lazy to climb that clock tower.

You could run 1x long cable down the hall to feed that Netgear using a LAN port....thus using it basically as a switch. You'd want to change it's LAN IP so it's in the same IP range as the DLink, yet unique..and disable DHCP on the Netgear too. So if the DLink is 192.168.1.1, make the Netgear something like 192.168.1.2 or 192.168.1.245.
Don't like that 1 network cable running down the hall? Some wireless allow wireless bridging repeating or WDS, but honestly that sucks. Slow, high latency, and chances of success diminish as you start mixing brands.
Another option is to get ethernet over powerline adapters. It's a little box that you plug into an outlet. Has an ethernet port, so uplink it to your DLink router. In the living room, you have another one...plug it in, have an ethernet cable coming out if it and uplink to your Netgear routers LAN port (same IP setup as above). So you're basically using your electrical system in your house instead of running a long ethernet cable down your hallway.
They have MOCA adapters too....same principle but using existing coax in your house instead of the AC.
