I am by no means a networking guru, but it seems to me that the Netgear
router needs to be reconfigured to be used as a switch. Connect the
Netgear's Uplink port to one of the ports on the D-Link. Do not connect
anything to the WAN port on the Netgear. There cannot be two DHCP servers
running on the same network so disable the DHCP server on either the Netgear
or the D-Link. Check the Netgear documentation to see if any other settings
need to be changed in order for it to function as a switch.
