I have extended my Home Network with a 2nd Netgear N300 nr Router, My primary router is TP Link w8968 v1 ip add: 192.168.1.1 secondary Router Ip 192.168.0.1 submask 255.255.255.0,
My primary router is connected to Internet. I always connect my laptop to primary router.
My Problem is whenever i connect to primary router Ip is allotted form my secondary router(192.168.0.XX) then i dont get internet.
If remove lan cable or switch off secondary router the primary router assigns ip(192.168.1.XX) then i am able to get internet on the laptop connected to Primary router, then I switch on the Secondary Router.

So every time i need to remove Lan Cable or switch off the Secondary Router to Get connected to Internet . Plz advice or Help to solve my problem.

I'm a bit confused.... what exact model this Netgear is... N300 is not really a model number, it can be extender, router or whatever they seem to call N300. There is dozen of devices called N300 like WNR 2000, DGN2200M... etc. Anyways if you want a router to be a switch you simply connect both using LAN ports not WAN port on Netgear. Second of all you have to turn off DHCP on Netgear as above answer suggests or its gonna be messy.
