When I add a second ethernet client to my router the internet connection drops.  Any idea on why this is happening?

Look at the IP addresses of the wired devices, they should be 192.168.0.1xx if the IP addreses are different then the LAN may have the internet connection rather then the WAN port. 

 

If the IP addreses check out, log into the router and look at the status page. Note what the IP addess shows (you do not need to post it), but then remove the Ethernet cable, reboot the router, log back in once having internet, is the Internet IP or WAN IP the same?
