problems with new router

[bunnyr31]

so i have a netgear dgn1000 at one end of my house and wireless is horrible at the other end of the house, so i saw the local shop had a dlink dir632 on sale for $5. i have previously had a setup like this (with different hardware) work but for the life of me i cant get this to connect on the dlink end. I really hate to be a newb and go beg for help but I cant figure it out..

 

I dont have alot of money hence the low-end hardware so please don't recommend i go out and but new stuff. I am located in Australia and connect via pppoe to my isp (if you need that info) i am using cat 6 cable between the dlink and the netgear. does it matter that i am not using port one of the netgear to connect to the dlink? Please help.

 

cheers

how exactly did you wire it?

you need one "master" router (your old one) with a cable comming from it s lan ports to the LAN port(not wan) of the "slave" (new)router.

Then you go to configure the the new router, look for either a access point mode (unliquely) or you turn DHCP off, if you have other settings to configure, it won t work if the cable from the master router isn t plugged.
