  • connected routers?

    i have a dsl router with a 4 port ethernet switch on it and another netgear (wired) router after that along with a wifi router after that. for some reason when i unplug the netgear router from and hold the reset switch it will get the ip address of the modem/router and keep it the same, instead of change it from 192.168.1.X to 192.168.0.X. that's not a huge problem but the router after that doesn't do that and changes it to 192.168.10.X. i need them all to be 192.168.1.X for some file transferring issues and programs that cant find other computers. how can i fix this? also why does the netgear router do that after its restarted and reset? thanks!
