I have AT&T Uverse service with a 2wire 3800 HGV-B residential gateway.  The wireless service was always dropping and was very slow, so last week I purchased a D-Link DIR-825 Xtreme N Dual Band Gigabit router to improve the wireless service.

D-link tech support helped me set the DIR-825 as a cascading router.  The wireless service works great in this mode.  I have the DIR-825 plugged in to switch such that none of the televisions are affected by the DIR-825.

The problem is that the computer and devices that are plugged into the DIR-825 are isolated and invisible from the remainder of the network.

What settings on the D-Link page at 192.168.0.1 do I need to change?

Is the 825 connected to the switch on the LAN port and not the WAN port? I presume so.

See if WLAN partition is check and enabled under Setup/Advanced Wireless, if it is, disable it.
Also disable Short GI.

I recommend using Single modes on the radios or Mixed G and N if you have any N supported devices. Let us know.

D-Link tech support instructed me to plug the incoming cable to the WAN port.  Is this incorrect?

If your going to have 2 routers on the same network, yes, however be aware that this will cause connection issues and double NAT problems. I've heard and it's preferred that the modem be bridged if possible. Also if this can't be done, there is a DMZ if the ISP modem is it that you could put the 825 routers IP address into thus effectively bypassing any processing of the ISP modem. However this still can present double NAT issues.
Might ask the ISP if the modem can be bridged to the router.
