2 Routers, 2 networks - what have I done?

Long story short, I've been suffering with 1-1.5mbps ADSL for years now. So I decided to invest in a 4G dongle, and take up an offer for 25Gb LTE data for £20/mth on 30 day contract. In order to avoid eating up the data allowance, I wanted to keep devices that were using data all the time (IP camera, NAS drive etc) connected to the slow but unlimited ASDL, and have my computers, games console etc connected to the internet through a 4G LTE router. Best of both worlds you might say.

So this is my current setup, and it all works, sort of:



Computers attached to the 4G router can access the net through 4G, or by amending a setting in the router setup, can still connect through the Brightbox ASDL, if I want to conserve 4G data.

Due to the link between the routers, the computers on the 99.99.99... network can still access the IP Cam and the NAS, and the Brightbox admin page etc through IP addresses, but I can't get windows 7 to see the NAS and hence can't map a drive to it... I

Is this possible?

Thanks
