I have two subnets connected over a wireless bridge and I'm trying to figure out how to get them to talk to each other.
Subnet 1
- Router: Netgear wireless
- Router IP: 192.168.1.1
- DHCP range: 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.254
- Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
- Internet: Connected directly to cable modem
Subnet 2
- Router: Linksys running dd-wrt
- Router IP: 192.168.2.1
- DHCP range: 192.168.2.2 - 192.168.2.254
- Internet: Connected to the Netgear router via a wireless bridge
- WAN IP: 192.168.1.10
When I'm on Subnet 1, I can't connect to anything on Subnet 2 (even the wireless bridge IP of 192.168.1.10).
When I'm on Subnet 2, I can connect to everything on 192.168.2.* as well as the Subnet 1 router on 192.168.1.1. But I can't connect to any other machines on Subnet 1.
The physical limitations of my house make the wireless bridge a requirement. I don't think making a wired connection between the two subnets is an option.
How can I set things up so machines on both subnets can communicate with each other and still get to the Internet?

You could set the subnet mask on all machines to 255.255.224.0 This way your host IP address range is 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.31.254, which includes both subnets you mention.

Wired or wireless is just a medium, the "network" it carriers is mostly not relevant to the actual medium. If this is a wireless bridge, why is the second router providing DHCP and not just transparently passing the 192.168.1.0/24 network through? That would make this so much simpler, router one provides DHCP to everything, and router 2 just acts a bridge passing the wireless network to the wired ports. Sounds to me like this is misconfigured since this is a SOHO environment.

Your router 2 is misconfigured, it should not be doing any router or DHCP functions, everything should be handled by router 1. Router 2 should be just a pass-though of the network. Everything should be one 192.168.1.0/24 subnet with a gateway of 192.168.1.1

Your setup is not a wireless bridge, just a way of using the wireless medium to carry a network connection to another router, the second "router" should be setup as a bridge to pass-thru all network traffic, making this all one subnet with one router handling all DHCP and routing functions for the entire LAN. This is called a Client-Bridge configuration and is a common DD-WRT application.
