The problem is that the routers create two different IP subnets,
preventing the two groups of connected devices from communicating with
each other.
One solution is to use the Netgear router as a wireless access point
only, bypassing its routing and DHCP capabilities, and use the D-Link
as the router for the network. All of the devices can then be in one
subnet:
1. Disconnect all of the network cables from the Netgear router.
2. Connect the cable modem to the WAN (Internet) port of the D-Link
router.
3. Turn the cable modem off and back on. The D-Link and the computers
connected to it should now have Internet access.
4. Using the notebook that has wireless access to the Netgear, connect
to the Netgear's built-in web server at http://192.168.0.1.
5. Disable the Netgear's DHCP server.
6. Change the Netgear's LAN IP address to one that's outside the
D-Link's DHCP pool. For example, if the D-Link assigns addresses in
the range 192.168.1.2-192.168.1.50, set the Netgear to an address in
the range 192.168.1.51-192.168.1.254.
7. Connect one of the Netgear's LAN ports to one of the D-Link's LAN
ports. You might have to use an uplink port on one router. Don't
connect anything to the Netgear's WAN (Internet) port.
8. Turn the Netgear off and back on.
9. Disable and then enable the notebook's 802.11a network connection.
it should get a 192.168.1.x IP address from the D-Link router and have
access to the Internet and the other computers and printers.
