If it helps my d link is a dir-822

• Assign the DIR-822 an unused static IP address on your LAN.
• Disable its DHCP server
• Plug it into the master router through one of its LAN ports (not the WAN/Internet port)
• Reboot it.

You should be able to access it at the address you assigned to it.

See the static ip thing confuses me do I change my dir-822 ip too my xplornet routers ip? My xplornet router ip ends in .1 so should I then make my dir-822 ip end in .2 ? I'm sorry this is just confusing lol

Yes that would work as long as the .2 address isn't in the DHCP range of the .1 router. (eg: Make sure the DHCP range on router .1 is something like 192.168.x.10-192.168.x.250 or adjusted to your needs). This just ensures when your devices connect the .2 address can not be handed out to another device.
