    Need a little help in networking:

    Modem LAN Address: 192.168.1.1
    TP-LINK Wireless Router LAN Address: 192.168.2.1

    (LAN cable from Modem is connected to WAN/Internet Port in TP-LINK Wireless router).

    Now the Pc's connected Wirelessly through the TP-LINK router (192.168.2.1) can all access each other's files, but the PC connected through the Modem (192.168.1.1) cannot be accessed by the PC's on the wireless network (192.168.2.1).

    How do I solve this?

    Is the modem set to bridge mode?
    Are those two (modem and router) set to different sub-nets?

    Connect the PC that's currently connected to the Modem, to the TP-Link Router via ethernet cable?
