2 Routers - 2 Internet Connections
 
OK I have 1 internet connection to my netgear WGT624 (Virgin Media) IP 192.168.0.x

BT Home hub with broadband on 192.168.1.x

Now I wish to join both networks together, so 192.168.1.x can access the network printer on the other network.

Any ideas? I would like to keep it so that any of the devices connected to one of the routers only uses that router internet connection.

I doubt if it matters, but the netgear router is on the ground floor with a conenction going upstairs, while the home hub is also upstairs.
On the single connection just mentioned is a switch, which the printer and pc connects to, thus making it part of the netgear router.

Just set the two routers on slightly different IPs (for example 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2) then just static the rest of the machines to match the gateway IP you wish but have all the machines on the same subnet 255.255.255.0 hence giving you 192.168.0.3 to 192.168.0.255 everyone can see each other and dependant on the gateway they use depends on which ISP they go through.

Ah yes, that is a good idea! Might give that a go later!
