how big a network do you have? is the Freecom wireless? if so use that as primary router then just use the linksys as a switch by linking up lan port to lan port.
Imo you should only actually have 1 router and a hub or switch.This is mainly beyond my expertise so im sure ill get shot down in flames

Edit read the specs and it is wireless and has good connectivity . Bit expensive but looks good never the less. Why do you need 2 routers ? is the Freecom limited by lack of lan ports? I would still use this as the first router. Then in theory using the second as a switch you should have expanded your lan connectivity wired
