Dan Kahn asks:
One network is ‘normal’, DSL Modem to router, 5 PCs and 4PC addresses 192.168.1.X with internet connectivity. The second network is 10.173.133.X with Dell 2716 router and 4 PCs. I purchased a Netgear FVS318 to replace the Dell since it has a WAN port.
How do I configure the FVS318 to get internet connectivity. I can not change the 10.173.133 network address. I can wire the two networks with CAT5.
I have read previous posts and my situation is slightly different.

Hello, the next link might help you out a little bit:
http://routersetup.blogspot.com/2007/08/connecting-two-routers-wired.html
http://compnetworking.about.com/od/routers/a/how-to-connect-two-routers-on-a-home-network.htm
connect the WAN port of the FVS318 to the first router
start the Smart Wizard of the FVS318 and select to configure it by yourself
(a) set the WAN/Internet Port to DHCP
(b) set the WAN/Internet Port to manual IP
IP-Address being some 192.168.1.x but outside the other routers DHCP range
Subnetmask being 255.255.255.0 or what you used on your other router
Gateway being the IP of your other router e.g. 192.168.1.254
Primary and Secondary DNS either the IP of your first router or the one from your ISP
On the LAN side you obviously have to configure the FVS318 for the 10.173.133.0 network.
That’s about it… don’t really see where it’s different from previous dual router topics
