Here is my ideal setup

cable modem ---> Linsys router WAN port ---> AP into open port ---> Uplink port into WAN port of second Linksys router-->LAN connected to second routers ports.

Now obviously the hardware firewalls are behind the WAN port in both routers. In order to connect the routers together and take advantage of both firewalls, do I need a crossover cable to go from the uplink port into the WAN port of the second router?

Or will this not work at all?

TIA!
