You need to use "crossover" cable. Search on Google and you can find the schematics.
Router <==> Switch ===Regular Cat 5 Switch <==> Switch Crossover cable

Cross over cables are used primarily between to system NIC (Network Interface Card), not network devices.
**Correction**
Cross over cables are used to connect 2 like network devices. ie a switch to a switch, a router to a router , or a computer to a computer. There is one note though, some switches have the ability to detect if it is connected to another switch and will automatically "crossover" the cable for you.
Router--switch--switch--router are all wired with normal patch cables regardless of using a WAN or LAN port.

Which hardware a hub or router only lets you connect computers together on the same network?
router
Do you need more than 1 router to connect 10 computers to the net?
No. One way to connect the additional computers is via a wireless network. But if you must have a wired network of 10 comupters, you could buy a switch or a hub to extend the network. Routers also have a built in switch, but they are more expensive. A switch is better than a hub and costs a little more.
Do you need a hub as well as a router?
If you own a large business that is spread all over (like in more than one city or state), then yes, you will need a router as well as a hub. Hubs only connect local systems to one network, whereas a router connects multiple networks together, thus enlarging that single network.
What device that allows for different types of devices to physically connect to a network?
hub and router
What connecting device do you use for a small LAN for two or more connected networks?
For a small LAN network, a switch is best. To connect two or more LAN networks, a router is required. (2) From Jean Andrews CompTIA A+ sixth edition (page #852): You can use a crossover cable to connect to computers without a switch or hub making it the simplest network of all. For two or more you will need a switch, hub, or router.
Is it possible to link a cross-over connection to a switch or hub?
A crossover cable is used to connect a Hub or Switch to another Hub or Switch - or a PC to another PC.
You want to make a network of three pcs is it possible to install two network cards on a host machine and connect other two machines to the host and make a network?
forget that and use a HUB/Switch or wireless router
How do you connect two pc's using lan?
Either use a crossover cable or connect them using a hub, switch, or router.
