Vpn router and another router setup help

[madmax555]

Im trying to setup a cable modem which is also a router that has a printer attached to one of its lan ports. From there it connects to another router which connects to other clients from there i have another router with a VPN connection with other clients. I would like to be able to see everyone on the network. How do I setup the routers in particular the router with the vpn which is the last router. Also the vpn router is connected through its WAN port to the router ahead of it at its lan port so it can use its VPN connection.

If it makes it easier lets ignore the cable modem as router and ill find the printer another way of connecting but essentially i need the two other routers for two ip addresses. One for the first router with my regular IP and then the other is for VPN IP.

I might be is-reading this but I believe the printer should be on the VPN router because users of that can't "climb uphill" to the main MODEM/Router.

If you're short of Ports, you may need to introduce a switch into the mix.

Well i think essentially that's the problem. I have them on the same subnet and ip address scheme. 192.168.0.xxx and 255.255.255.0. My question is to get them to see each other on the network. Is there something I can do. Should I turn off DHCP server to fowarder on the VPN router but i have to get a wan connection from previous router for the VPN router to work..at least i think that's the only possibility for that. Do change static ip address for the router to Wan ip address. Really lost on what to do?

Go for a subnet of 255.255.0.0 on VPN router and 10.0.0.1 upwards.
