Hey guys im having problems with my wireless computers seeing the rest of my network.
This is my setup.
ATT dsl modem into a
16 port netgear gigabit switch into
dlink 615
Some computers are hardwired two are wireless
All was working well before d-link with the linksys
When im on a wireless computer i cant see the other computers hardwired to the network through the switch. When i take a wireless computer and plug it directly into the switch it see the rest of the computers fine.
Something screwy is happening between the switch and the dlink router not allowing me to see my shared folders and printer over wifi.
Any ideas?

First thing, it's preferred to set up your networking devices in the following manor:
ISP modem > 615 router > switch < pcs and devices connect to switch.
Is your DSL modem a stand alone modem or does it have a built in router?
Its preferred to bridge the modem so that only one router is handling data traffic. Having 2 routers online can cause issues.
If your going to use the 615 as a main router, then I recommend setting up the router for IP address reservations for all of your connected devices on the router. Ensure Devices are set to auto obtain ip addressing.
