Can somebody please let me know if the following is possible and how to do it?

I have a Netgear DG834GT router. Currently it's setup with my ISP login details on the router with 2 computers (via cable) and a laptop (via wireless) connection connected to it.

What I'd like to do is connect to another wireless router to create a wireless network between my router (with two PC's and laptop) and the other wireless router (with PC's connected to it); but I don't want the computers which are connected to the other router to be able to access my internet accounts setup on my router.
The two routers with the computers connected to each must only be able to share information on the network, not internet access.

Any advice?
Thanks

You will need to set router 2 in client or bridge mode. Then put in your ssid and wep key, also change router ip address so that it in same range.

Then try to ping router 2 from one of the computer. It that works then router two is conected.

Now you can connect computers and laptops to router 2, but do not put it any dns or gateways. You should also disable dhcp.

Also use admin accounts so that they cannot go and change network settings.
 
The DG834 can block internet traffic based on ip ranges, setup a range for the allowed computers, and a range for the others.
