Well to start with,...are these "home-user-broadband-routers"? If so these
are NOT "real" routers,...they are cheap low-dollar NAT-based Firewalls.
But some marketing person somewhere (that should have been taken out and
shot) marketed them as "routers" in the stores, either out of ignorance or
the idea that maybe they would sell more that way,...and then everyone got
on the band wagon and called theirs that too,..and now nobody (in the retail
world) knows what a real router is anymore.
That completes my soapbox rant anyway. So if what you have are two Subnets
that are part of one larger network and uses one common Internet connection,
then you need:
1. One NAT Firewall
You probably have that. It is probably the 192.168.2.1 "router" that is
sitting there. If this is a D-Link then you may already be screwed since
many models (most? all?) cannot take a Static Route which is required for
the rest of this to work.
2. One LAN Router or Layer3 Switch
This goes between the two Subnets. If it is a Layer3 Switch then you have
to configure at least a total of 2 VLANs. This divids the Switch into 2
logical Layer3 Interfaces. You must then "enable routing" on the Layer3
Switch because it is usually off by default.
3. All Hosts, in both subnets,...use the LAN Router as the Default Gateway
4. The LAN Router (or L3 Switch) uses the "firewall" as the Default Gateway
5. The "firewall" then requires a Static Route(s) that tell it to use the
LAN Router as the "path" to get to any other subnets ont he LAN. This is
what many (most? all?) D-Link boxes cannot do.
