Accessing devices on a wireless bridged network

[barrybarling]

I have my Fibre connected to a wireless router (main router). I am running my wireless networks off of the main router, with all wireless devices connecting to this router.

I am trying to connect devices through a second wireless router (I am unable to run ethernet cable between them) to the main router, thus having them accessible on the network. I have been able to set up bridging successfully so internet is wireless accessible from the second routers wireless networks. However I am unable to access the devices from the main network.

The main router is a D-Link Dir 825 with Gateway 192.168.0.1 and range 192.168.0.2 - 192.168.0.255.

The second router is a Tenda AC6. It is using the Gateway 192.168.0.1 and has the IP of 192.168.0.2 on the main network. It has the LAN IP of 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.255; it is not allowing me to access the range of the main router.

If an IP address for a device on the second network is entered while connected to the main network, it is unable to connect to the address.

It seems as if there should be a simple solution but I am totally stuck. Any help would be appreciated.

You need to disable the DHCP server on the second router that is acting as the bridge. You should have a flat network of all devices 192.168.0.x
