Hi, I have a D-Link DI-713P which is connected to a Lexmark Z52 printer. I have a seperate wireless router Linksys WRT54G which is conncetd to a cable modem. I also have a laptop with wireless Linksys card. I want to be able to use the internet and print all on one network. At the moment I have to swtich between the D-Link and Linksys networks to do this. Any ideas how I can do this?

Disable the DHCP function on one of the routers so it acts as a switch instead of a router.

Since the Linksys router is already connected to the cable modem....it would probably be best to disable DHCP in the D-Link DI-713P.
You'll need to check the manual about how to log in to the router and adjust its settings (via a web browser).
Also...the IP address of the DLINK router may need to be changed to fall within the IP range of the Linksys (not sure about this...but it may be an issue).
