How use a Wireless router as a switch ? (even wi-fi access)

Question

I have a router TP-Link (without wireless) connected in my modem wich have this subnet : 192.168.0.*, that work fine. But I need a wireless connection too, my wireless router had this ip given by the TP-Link router: 192.168.0.13.

I have a NETGEAR WIRELESS-G ROUTER WGR614 which gain 192.168.0.13 but I need that gives ip's in the same subnet that TP link router.

If the person connect to my wi-fi it should receive an ip like 192.168.0.*, I already try to disable the DHCP server in the NETGEAR but it's not working too.

How can I do that ?

Answer 1

Do not connect the ethernet cable from the tp link to the wan port on the netgear router. connect together regular lan ports on both.

Ideally you shouldn't have 2 DHCP enabled routers on the same network as it will just be pure luck which range the connected PC gets allocated to. BUT using my method below they shouldn't conflict with each other...

Within the DHCP options of each router you should have a 'scope' or 'range' where you can specify different rages within the same subnet to the 2 routers, say 192.168.0.15 - 192.168.0.45 for router 1 and 192.168.0.50 - 192.168.0.100 for router 2.
