I have just added a wireless router to my existing ADSL modem/router on
my home network. The problem I now have is that my printer is ont he
wireless segment (192.168.0.20) and computers on the non-wireless
segment (e.g. 192.168.1.100) cannot see the printer. I tried to
enable a static ip route on the 192.168.1.1 router set up as:

Destination ip address: 192.168.0.20 (The printer's ip address)
Forward (Gateway) ip address: 192.168.1.2 (The wireless router's
address on the non-wireless segment)
netmask: 255.255.255.255 (only send for address .20)

But this didn't work. Can anyone tell me what I should be doing?

Hi

As is, if you want to stay with one coherent Network, you need to configure
the Wireless Router as an Access Point.

Here how, http://www.ezlan.net/router_AP.html

Alternately, if your Modem/Router can be set as a Modem only, you can set it
as a Modem, and use your Wireless Router as the main Router with all
computers connected to it.
