Help connecting 2 routers.

[hyuga]

I initially had only 1 router, a Linksys with 8 ports, connected to a cable modem. I am using 6 ports. I added a 4 port wireless Netgear router. I connected the Netgear router to a port in the Linksys router. The Netgear router got an IP assigned to it by the Linksys router.

There are 2 networks, the original 192.168.1.0, and now a 192.168.0.0. The problem is that computers in the 192.168.1.0 cannot access computers in the 192.168.0.0 network. However, computers in the 192.168.0.0 can access computers in the 192.168.1.0 network.

I tried adding a static route in the Linksys router, but I am not sure if that is the solution nor if I added the correct information:

Destination LAN IP: 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.10 (IP of the Netgear router)
Hop Count: 0
Interface: LAN

Anyone know how to correct the problem?

Thanks.

turn DHCP off on the Netgear and then move the cable from the WAN port on the Netgear to uplink of the switched ports

Thanks! I overlooked that I did not need to use it as a router. Now it is just a switch and every computer is in the same network.
