    Networking with two router/addresses

    Hello. I have a networking question/problem I haven’t found an answer to.

    I have two routers. I have a Netgear Nighthawk cable modem and a Netgear Orbi mesh router. The Orbi is our primary network. I have a lot of wired devices like NAS drives and printers. I also use an unmanaged network switch for some of the devices. Because of speed issues With a NAS, I had to unwire my desktop and go wireless. I prefer to use Ethernet connections.

    My address for the cable modem is 192.168.0.1. The Orbi is 192.168.1.1. Both have a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. If I wore into the modem, I have more consistent internet speeds, but I can’t communicate or connect to my printers and NAS drives connected to the Orbi.

    My long winded question: what do I do so I can see my whole network? I generally understand networking, but I’m far from a whiz. Thank you!
