sounds a bit pointless, but no, it shouldn't hinder your network connection.
Is this slowing down my connection?
I got a second wireless router for free (Linksys WRT54G v.3), and linked it into my home network. Its fed from a 100 ft ethernet cable that used to plug straight into my motherboard, now it runs through the router first.
Why?
I have my own second network
Extra ports for LAN parties in my room
Stronger signal in my room
Question:
Because of this extra step (in and out the second router) is my bandwidth decreased, ping higher?
I don't need the extra router but its kinda nifty.

The said router is the one on the right and my computer is the 1200.

You don't start to see any real loss till you start going into the thousands of feet of ethernet cable.
Shouldn't see anything slower.
You could just run a SpeedTest on it though

Actually, Network cable will only work to just over 300Ft. Anything longer and the resistance is too great. You have to split it with switches etc

Hmm... What am I thinking of then...
I'm thinking that maybe I should just set my computer to bar me from the Internet after midnight. Obviously, I suck at remembering anything beyond that time.

Speedtest varies to much to tell honestly. You run one time, then an hour later and you may have double download speed.

Haha I'm working on a U.S. History Project that's due later today. Kept putting it off to play Sup Comm, and now I have all this crap to do.
Writing my last paper, then it's off to bed for 3.5 hours and then I get to wake up and do some swimming.

Well my question isnt with the cable its more with having a second router in the mix. The 100ft cable isnt negotiable because its how i get my connection fron the main router in the first place.
