I have an Kasda router connected to my PC. I want to connect Wirless D-Link router to a Kasda router so I can have wirless internet on laptop and on my PC as it is now directly. But I can't seem to manage to get it work. I can catch the signal but it says "No Internet Access". Also I can't enter my wirless router when connected that way, only the normal one. I'm suspecting that I need to configure both routers somehow to get it working. I've tried some other things but no luck.

The first thing I done was this:

PC<->Router<->Wirless Router (Connected them on LAN ports)

Also I've tried:

Router<->Wireless Router(Connected LAN from router to an internet port on Wirless)<->PC(connected lan from wireless to PC). - This way I was able to acces both router from PC, but still couldn't connect to wirless on my laptop.

What should I do?

connect an ethernet cable from the LAN port on router #1 to the...
