Lets do this. Connect (wired) directly to the Netgear router.
Open Internet Explorer and in the address bar enter the IP of the Web-based setup program (can be found in the Manual).

1. Disable the DHCP server
2. Disable, if any, the firewall
3. Assign on the LAN side a static IP of 192.168.1.4, Subnet 255.255.255.0 for the router
4. Configure any wireless security measures you wish to use.

Save the settings.
Turn off the router.

Take a patch ethernet cable and connect from the "Uplink" port on the Linksys to a regular LAN port (not WAN and not Uplink) on the D-link router.

Turn off workstations, both routers, the modem
Power on the modem, the Linksys router, the D-Link router, the workstations.

Test.
