Hi,
Im a bit of a newbie when it comes to networking, so i hope you can help?
I currently have two Netgear Routers. One being a wired ADSL DG834 and another being a WR Wireless 54Mbps
I would like to access data between my 192.168.5.x & 192.168.2.x networks.
The wired router has the ADSL on it, with an IP of 192.168.5.1 and my wireless has an IP of 192.168.2.1. I know how to get to the static route page on the firewall but dont wuite understand what i have to put in each box when i go to add a static route??
Do i have to add static routes on both routers and turn on/off RIP?
Your help would be great and much apprieciated!
Cheers,

The other option would be to change the wireless router to be just an access point, providing wireless access without setting up a separate network. There should be instructions for that in your user's manual; if you can't make sense of the instructions, post the full model number of the wireless router, and we can look it up.

Your wireless must also have a IP address on the 192.168.5.1 network? The ethernet port on your Wireless Router.
So lets say your wireless router is 192.168.5.254 (you should make this a static IP address not assigned dynamically).
On your ADSL router add a static route for 192.168.2.0/24 (mask 255.255.255.0) via 192.168.5.254
On your Wireless Router add a default gateway of 192.168.5.1
Turn off RIP (Evil routing protocol). You do not need it.
Now your wireless clients will get an IP address of 192.168.2.* and they will have a default gateway of 192.168.2.1.
