Wireless to wired LAN

In my office we have a standard wired LAN setup. In the LAN I have
installed a wireless router, which allows my boss's laptop to
wirelessly access the Internet through the office LAN.

The office LAN is DHCPed by a ADSL router, which gives everyone
Internet access and it is this that the wireless router connects
through to allow Internet access wirelessly.

LAN is using 192.168.0.x
Wireless is using 192.168.1.x

So my question is: How do I make this so that the wireless and the LAN
are all connected as one? i.e. How can a computer wirelessly connect to
the rest of the LAN and access shared areas?

TIA

Reconfigure the wireless router as a wireless access point, as described
in the How To wiki below.

Here, you do it like this, just apply the IP(s) based on what your
gateway wire router is using.

It doesn't make any difference wire to wire, wireless to wireless, wire
to wireless, or brand name.

The principles are the same. The second router becomes a switch when you
disable the DHCP on it. It becomes a wire/wireless AP switch, since the
router has built-in switch technology.

What you should have gotten was standalone wireless access point WAP and
plugged it into the wire router. The WAP is a bridging device that
brings two networks together as one network.

The wire and wireless that is using the wireless router as the gateway
for the LAN and WAN. You converted the wire/wireless router to do the
same thing.
