Why would you get another router to use as a switch? That's a waste of money when you an just grab a switch. :P

Other than that, when you daisy chain two routers together without disabling gateway/nat/dhcp features, you are being double nat'd.

The OP's topic says "Sling Link or another router?" To that I respond neither. You don't need another router, nor a sling link in most cases. If sling link makes it easier for you to setup, then by all means do it. But it's not a necessity. And sling link won't degrade your slingbox quality. It might cause a lower bandwidth throughput and cause the video to be compressed more, but I doubt your upstream on your internet connection is higher than the speed of a sling link anyway. I'd bet that the only time you'd see a difference is with LAN viewing.
