I have a location with a Netgear wireless network. Before this office moved, it had a router that was config to network with our central location. I have no clue what settings need to be changed on the wireless router to make it connect with our main network. Please help!!! It gets on the internet and see wireless computers fine.

Here some settings at our main network:
We have a domain
Node Mode = Hybird
DHCP Enabled = Yes (Wireless has DHCP turned on)
DHCP Server, Gateway, DNS Server, Primary WINS Server are all 192.168.1.1

Also, since Domain, I cannot config small network - but it finds the wireless computers but not wired and it drops printer often on wireless network.

Thanks for any advice.
 
You cannot have two DHCP running. Either turn off the Server DHCP or the wirless DHCP. The wirless should connect to the server to receive the DHCP info for the wirless devices.

What is the difference between the "central location" and "main network"? What function is the router intended for?
 
The Central Location (Main Network) is about 200 miles away from this location. The function of router is use for internet and files. When I disable the Wireless DHCP, all my wireless adapters loose connection.
 
Try switching the DHCP server off and making the router the newtork DHCP controler

How do the "wired" computer connect to the internet? Excatly what are the chain of connections IE.
