You do not need a 2nd router. You do not need double NAT. Just buy a

OK; does this mean I may retain the fixed 192.168.168.X subnet as is?

No. It will be all 192.168.1.xxx with a switch. Unless you have some
reason to establish a 2nd sub-net, methinks it's an un-necessary
complexication. One possible such use would be if you run a coffee
shop or mini-wireless-ISP, and need to keep the customers seperate
from your internal network. Using 2 routers will sorta work for this,
but it's not perfect.



Well, that's the issue. Keeping the office network separate from a home network. That's why I anticipated using the SonicWall to NAT office fixed IPs.
