I need to forward a port on my second router. i have spent countless nights without success. Please help.
So first a little bit of back story. Me and my friend played a lot of Minecraft through a server successfully running on my computer. We eventually school got in the way and we stopped playing. I eventually got a laptop which prompted me to add a secondary router inside of my room. My room is separated from the rest of the house and though my PC is plugged into the wall and directly to the main router, my laptop and phone depend on the Wi-Fi which was very spotty. It was a giant pain in the ass but i got everything working. My current setup is through the WAN port, not the LAN port, but working fantastic.
We have some time between semesters and want to play Minecraft again, but i am unable to forward the proper port. i have put hours upon hours into trying to get it to work. From what i can piece together, it is best to NOT use the WAN port and instead use the LAN port. My pain problem i am having is tutorials using routers that have different setting options and wording that the two i have. For example, every tutorial i could find only had a STARTING IP range and not an ENDING IP range. i began getting confused as to what should be within what range. My computer's static IP, Router 2's static IP, etc.
Here is a link to screenshots of my WORKING setup. Netgear is Router 1 and Linksys (tomato firmware) is Router 2.
i think my problem is what my starting and ending IP range should be for both Router 1 and Router 2. And what, in relation to that range, should router 2's static IP be and my PC's static IP be.

Thanks in advance. This is greatly appreciated.
