Linksys Wired Router and Wireless Router Conflict

I have two Linksys routers, one is wired and other one is wireless. Wired router worked fine for me when it was alone. I have one laptop connected to the wireless router and one desktop connected to wired router. Now when I turn on wireless router sometimes I lose internet connection on my desktop. And laptop is always working fine. What is the cause of this conflict between my routers? Is there a way to make them work together?

Having two routers is sometimes a hard job. Good question is Do you really need 2 routers working at the same time. And if you cant find a really good reason for doing it, better leave just one router working. However if you have a good reason then I could give you some good suggestions.
You are probably running 2 DHCP servers at the same time and this is causing conflict.
Try turning DHCP server on one of them. This u can do by running the one server in access point mode.

After doing this both of them should work without problems. It doesnt matter which one of them u choused to be a DHCP server, both will do the job.
I hope my answers can help you, if you dont manage do fix the problem feel free to ask for more.
Cheers.
