Help: Accessing 2 subnets using Linksys routers

[northland]

I have a Linksys 4-port cable/dsl router connected to a 3com cable modem. The router has only 1 uplink port. This works fine if you need to connect to an expansion Hub at the same location OR at located at another location that links a few other PC's. However, I need to have 2 remote hubs connected to the router. The only solution I could come up with...
1st remote hub is done via the uplink direct from the 4port router connected to the cable modem. The subnet for this router is 255.255.255.0 Standard fare so far.
Next...connect another 4port router configured as a "router" (not a gateway), reassigned IP address of 192.168.1.200 with a 255.255.255.128 gateway.
Access to the Internet is just fine. However, I can't see the PC's on the other (255.255.255.0) subnet.
THE BIG QUESTION: How do I get the two subnets to see each other?

Get rid of the second router and buy a workgroup switch. If you do not like my post feel free to point out your opinion or my errors.

No, it's the correct answer. But (there's always a but!)...I already own the two linksys routers AND I don't know of a workgroup switch that is reasonably enough priced for home use. Thoughts? Can I modify the routing tables to create the bridge? If so, can you suggest a "how to" resource?

northland,

Try setting a static route on the first router pointing packets destined for the second subnet to the second router's IP address.

Hope that helps. What goes around - comes around.

Make them all static and connect a DNS server to the Router. If you do not like my post feel free to point out your opinion or my errors.
