I can't make heads or tails of what you are talking about. Can you try again?

Most likely you are connecting to a multi layered device which functions as a gateway, router & switch - but without knowing what you are actually talking about it would be hard to tell. Additionally I'm not sure what you mean by a "normal" network. Depending on what appliance you are using, it's functionality, and how it is set up, along with the permissions/shares set up in your OS will depend on how your systems will be able to communicate with each other.

What is the reasoning for two routers?

Yes it's possible. I'm using a similar setup now. I live in a large house that was gutted and turned into separate apartments. Our landlord has a router in B with cables from it going to units A and C where I live. Problem is he forgot the wifi password. After trying everything I could think of, I just brought out a spare router I had, and plugged it in. I had to log into it and turn it into a wifi access point. Units A and B are the PC in your pic, while my laptop/phone is wifi over other router, and my PC is plugged into the back of it. Very doable.

Slow down? Maybe a little, but nothing you should notice. My ping in games is still good.

yeah just my parents buying 100Mbps Ethernet network but only 1 cable gonna be in my room so 1 router for personal use 2ns (mine) gonna be for gaming, sharing game server

what router you suggest im thinking about D-LINK DIR-632, 802.11N, Qos

Anything basic. When I turned mine into an access point I lost everything. It became a dumb switch. I can't even log into it. Buy whatever cheap 802.11n router you want. The one I'm using just happens to be a belkin, but it could have been any of the others I have in my junk bin.
