Two networks to share one internet connection?
I have two DLink Routers and DLink Switch to split a single internet connection into two separate networks. One will not have any wireless access, the other will be used both via cable and wireless. What do I need to do to make this work? Both networks are configured and work, if plugged directly into the ISP's modem. However when I try to run them through the switch, simultaneously neither router delivers internet access to their respective networks.

You need to connect 1 router to the modem and the 2nd router to the 1st. The IP address ranges of both routers need to be different. ie: 192.168.0.1 & 192.168.1.1

^+1 and don't forget that both routers must be connected with a crossover cable.

No, they don't! Almost all routers have auto-sensing ports.
