You'd need to configure a route in the router between the two subnets.

It depends if the device you have is actually a "router". The vast majority of the devices you see in the stores are actually better called "gateways". The can only accept a single subnet for the lan and single IP address that all traffic is NAT to for the WAN.

A true router is trivial to get to pass traffic between subnets. It pretty much will pass traffic between all subnets directly connected to the router by default. You would then have to configure what you wanted the device to do with subnets outside its directly control but it is generally very easy.

Exactly how you do this depends how you have physically got them cabled.

Commercial routers like cisco or juniper have extensive information about how to configure them so it tends to be simple to learn but these are high cost devices unless you buy old used equipment. Low cost/free option like linux based router software or dd-wrt work well but tend to be not as clearly documented and much fewer resources available to learn.

So likely step 1 is to get a real router.
