I understand you're dealing with a CCTV setup and networking challenges. You mentioned trying to connect directly but ran into issues with cable limits and router configurations. Let me know if you'd like help troubleshooting further or exploring alternative solutions. Thank you for sharing the details!

I’d opt for a 5-port switch and swap in the second router. That seems like the simplest option.

^^ This There is no need to over-complicate things. If you only want to access your CCTV system from your computer, that means both of them need to be in the same network, that is a perfect job for a simple 5-port gigabit switch like Mdgtman91 said.

Router 2 should use Router 1's IP as its default gateway. Router 1 must have a rule for Router 2's internal network using Router 2's wan address as the gateway. Router 2 requires an ACL that permits traffic between Router 1's internal network and Router 2's internal network.
