IP camera, two routers, and making them talk

Hi
Here's my situation- I have a Mobotix M1M camera ([url]www.mobotix.com[/url])
and
it's upstairs of our house. I have it attached into the WAN port of a
Netgear WGR514 router. I want this router to talk to the main router
downstairs and allow the broadcast of the camera. Conversely, I'd
like
the upstairs router to act as a repeater for the network.

Can someone help me configure this setup?

The Camera's IP is 192.168.1.101~ it has a factory default of
10.0.98.254 but the 192.168.1.101 works fine.
The Upstairs Router is 192.168.1.1
The downstairs router is 192.168.0.1

Any help is mucho appreciated..

Configure a Network with Multiple Routers
As more of us set up home networks with both wireless and wired
devices, our networks become increasingly complicated. One question
I've run into repeatedly in the newsgroups is how to configure and
connect a wireless router (also known as a wireless gateway) when
adding it to a network that uses a wired router.

The first answer, actually, is to not buy a wireless router if you
already have a wired router-get a wireless access point (AP). They
generally cost about the same as a router, but are specifically
designed to do what you need. But for those of you who already have a
router, here are some basic configuration steps.

1.
Ideally, only one router should act as a Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) server. You can choose which one, but generally it
should be the one directly connected to the DSL/cable modem. Disable
the DHCP server on the second router.

2.
Or you can carefully configure them both to act as DHCP servers, but
use different address ranges of the same address prefix defined for
the subnet. For example, I could configure the wired router to hand
out DHCP addresses in the range from 192.168.0.50-192.168.0.99, while
configuring the wireless router to serve out addresses in the
192.168.0.100-192.168.0.149 range, as shown in Figure 4. The catch
here is that the default address range for the two routers may be
different, especially if they came from different manufacturers. If
they are, you'll need to change them so that they're both part of the
address range being used on the home network subnet.

3.
Configure the second router to be a bridge, not a router. Not all
routers will do this, however. Check the software for the two routers
you have, and if only one of them can act as a bridge, set it up to do
bridging and connect the other one to the cable/DSL modem. My D-Link
wireless router won't act as a bridge, so I would have to connect it
to the DSL modem.
