Rotherham survived a stern test at battling non-league Wealdstone to book their place in the FA Cup second round.
Adam Le Fondre capitalised on an error from Wealdstone keeper Sean Thomas, before Kevin Ellison hammered home a fantastic strike to make it 2-0.
Ryan Ashe arrowed in a volley from the edge of the box after the break to give Wealdstone hope, but Drewe Broughton's header restored the two-goal lead.
Ashe notched a second to set up a tense finish, but Rotherham held out.
