And why have a "wireless NetGear router wired into the wireless network"?. This does not make sense.
Why not have the "wireless NetGear router" as the "wireless network interface"?. It will also be able to log on to the internet and give out ip addresses to your computers. Did you at any chance "ADHOC" (piggyback) any of the Wireless networks so that they can talk together. The best way of doing these is to make sure all of the equipment (for networking) is the same make or brand. This way you will have a good network that can talk and respond to each other.
Hope this helps you.
Please post back if you have any more problems or questions.

Hello,
You need to set the wireless router on an ip range outside of the wired network.
Example: If your wired router is operating with DHCP enabled and giving out ranges from 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.110 using subnet 255.255.255.0. You need to hook up your laptop or pc DIRECTLY to the wireless router (just pc or laptop and a cat5 ethernet cable to wireless router) and log into the wireless router and manually assign it an IP address of 192.168.1.111 using the same subnet of 255.255.255.0. Make this a static address within the router setup. (Depending on which wireless router you're using). Save your settings and unplug from wireless router and plug it into the wired network it will then act as a Wireless Access Point allowing you to share files from which ever PC or laptop is connected wirelessly to that wireless router.
Message again if you need help.

You have all the computers on a WiFi LAN and a Printer on a Wired LAN and yopu are unable to send any Print Jobs to the Printer Right? I'm also assuming that you can not add the printer to the indivual computers either.
The most likely problem here is the way that the Netgear WiFi Access Point is configered. WHile you can communicate betwen th different computers the WiFi Router doesn't have the Bridge Enabled to allow the WiFi side to communicate witht he Wired Side of the LAN. To set this upo you need to enter the Netgear Setup Procedure and you'll need the Destruction Manual here for the exact directions and the User Name & Password. But basicially you need to connect tot he Router prefereably with a Wired connection just in case you mess up by entering the Routers HTTP Address in a Web Browser then the User Name & Password when you hit the Log In Screen and then you can change the requirewd Setting and save the changes which will require a reboot of the router normaly. The exact directions wil be in the Destruction Manual or if you didn't get a printed Manual there should be a PDF File on the CD that came with the router.

You need to go into the Wireless Router's Setup Panel and configer the Wireless and Wired Network sides to communicate with each other.
Until you configer the Bridge you will be unable to get the wireless & wired sides of the Router to communicate.

"The wireless router is plugged into the wall which goes to the Linksys wired router"?.
Are you using the Ethernet wall plugs by any chance?. You use these Ethernet wall plugs to access another router for accessing the internet, these i would NOT use because they overheat and become unstable, plus they are a fire hazard. A little more info needed or added picture so we understand more of your issue.
Please post back if you have any more problems or questions.
