how can i add a new router to an existing workgroup which is working with adsl-modem.

and i want share files between the notebook which is connected to adsl modem and the notebook wich is connected to the router.

i added a simple pic. of the network, i only want to share files between 1. areas devices
and 2. areas devices but for example i can't see the devices in the 2. area from the 1. area.

Your picture will partially work if "ADSL Modem" is actually an "ADSL Router", so group 1 can access Internet, and you connect second router' WAN port to ADSL router' LAN port.

For second part - connected the way shown, group 2 will see group 1 (since this will be their Internet), but group 1 won't see group 2 (in the same way as Internet cannot see your computers behind the router).

If you were able to put group 2 on your adsl router and group 1 on your wifi router you would be able to access group 2 from group 1. You would have to change your IP address scheme for each group though and can be a pain if you have a bunch of statically configured stuff.
