Dynamic vs Static IP
It's feels great when it all comes together. However, I am surprised that you able to get dynamic IP from your wireless router. Most info I'm reading says clients attached to the 2nd router should be set up with static IP. For example, the D-Link knowledge base (for their DI-624 model) has a procedure to link two routers (
http://support.dlink.com/SupportFAQ...DI-624_revC Advanced Features ---> DDNS). I've cut and pasted their advise below:
"Connect router to router
To connect a router to an existing router, please follow the steps below:
Step 1 Do not use the WAN port on the second router. Use a cross-over cable and connect for LAN port to LAN port.
Step 2 You will need to change the LAN IP address of the second router to something other than the default 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.2 for example).
Step 3 Disable DHCP on the second router. To disable DHCP, go into the routers configuration > Home > DHCP. Click Disable and then click apply.
Step 4 You computer will not receive a DHCP address from you DHCP server so you will need to set the IP addresses statically on your computers.

Perhaps something is going on using two different brands of router?
