Access 2nd router in system

I have a second router (d-link) daisy chained to my main router (Asus N66R), Lan port to Lan port.
The dlink has dhcp disabled and it appears to be functioning. I connect to it with my phone, unplug the router and the phone loses the wireless connection. The Asus is set to 192.168.2.1. The D-link is set to 192.168.1.1 and my DSL modem is set to 192.168.0.1. I can access the modem and Asus via the addresses but the D-link does not respond unless I wire it directly to the computer. Am I doing something wrong or am I missing something?
TIA
Dave
 
Asus = 192.168.2.1
D-Link = 192.168.1.1
DSL = 192.168.0.1

If you have the subnet mask as the same, you might not be on the same network. Let's say DSL has subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, you should probably have the ip address of the Asus as 192.168.0.10, and the D-Link as 192.168.0.20.

As long as the ip address is within 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254 you should be good (assuming the subnet mask I used is what you have).

Click to expand...

The subnet is as listed by you. If I try to set Asus to 192.168.0.(1,2,02) I get the message Wan and Lan should have different IP addresses and subnet.
Your thoughts....
 
try setting ip address to 192.168.0.254 (go from the top down)... if it takes, set the next device to 192.168.0.253
 
The subnet has to be the same otherwise you have Triple NAT and three independent Networks rather than One cohesive network.

Got it sorted out, Asus assigned 192.168.1.1 to a computer on the network. I had to manually assign 192.168.1.125 to it so as to clear the address conflict. Addresses are
192.168.0.1 modem
192.168.1.2 Asus
192.168.1.1 D-link
192.168.125 Computer
192.168.1.32 Computer
etc

Thanks for the help!!
