Router to Router Setup, using Crossover or Standard?

1

I have a network with DHCP from the WirelessRouter.

----<WirelessRouter/Router>----<-100meters->----<?ANOTHER ROUTER?>-----to other computers
|
|
|
|
----Connected to other computers

For the 100 meters, I use copper wire. Do I need to use a crossover setup for RJ45? Or can I just use the standard setup of RJ45?

Here in my house, I already set up the 100 meters with a standard setup, in which if we remove the <?ANOTHER ROUTER?>, the 100 meters will connect directly to one computer only.

I want to add some routers there, but my instructor said that a standard setup of RJ45 will not work for router-to-router here.

Maybe I missed something above, I forgot what a crossover setup or a standard setup is. I assume that crossover is for router-to-router or a computer-to-computer connection. Correct me if I'm wrong.

"Newer routers, hubs and switches (including some 10/100, and all 1 Gigabit or 10 Gigabit devices in practice) use auto-MDIX to automatically switch to the proper configuration once a cable is connected." Auto-MDIX wikipedia article

Just remember simple rule:

when the devices are same, then crossover cable is used.

when devices are different, Straight cable is used.

so for router-to-router we need crossover cable.
