    Hello.

    I think there's something fundamental I'm misunderstanding about how NAT works. I've got three routers, and I'd like to hook one up to the cable modem, and plug the other two into that and stick them on opposite ends of the house and have them function as separate networks. Any idea how I'd do this?

    You want them all to be on the same network, right? I mean, sharing one broadband connection...

    You set up the two routers that are not connected to the cable modem as wireless access points.
