I have a verizon connection-modem/router to main level of my home and since
I have couple of machines in my basement, I have an additional
router(LinkSyS) hardwired from the Verizon router. Now my question is...
When i type in the (after verifying I am really attached to linksys router)
admin URL i.e, 192.168.1.1, it is hitting the verizons router and I am
puzzled as to how to manage/administer the LINKSYS router now, which URL
should I use to hit the LINKSYS router? am i doing something wrong here?
Many thanks in advance!

check you've the right url. for your router mod no. Linksys used to use 192.168.2.251 with no username, and admin as the
password for the kit i've used.

I think Linksys use a different default IP in newer routers which is
192.168.1.1
Different routers have different IPs set by their manufacturers. I am told
192.168.1.1 is Linksys now and other routers default IP address, such as
Orange Live-Box for example also has the above IP address. Manufacturers
tend to change to newer IPs with different configurations to catch up with
security trends, At one time Linksys (and most if not all other
manufacturers) did not have admin and password to access for administering
the router. At one time routers were very weak in security and almost no
protection including coming open by default and no WEP (WPA now) key
needed, wardriving was a lot of fun in those days
Your problem may be connecting two routers together and that is slightly
different accessing which to admin, search the forums here for "connecting
two routers" or "connecting 2 routers" or similar, a lot of write up about
that.
It probably also depend on which country you are in, not too sure about
that but worth bearing in mind though!
