This is normal, since you aren't using the WAN port anymore, the Belkin
router is no longer getting the 192.168.0.4 address (which was being
assigned by the D-Link.)

There are two ways to go about this:

1. Just leave it as is.  If you need to administer the Belkin router,
manually assign a static IP in the 192.168.2.x range on a pc temporarily

Example: ifconfig eth0 192.168.2.5 (You might have to stop network
manager for this to work from a Ubuntu station)

You would then access the Belkin by using web browser to go to 192.168.2.1

If you want, you can change the IP address of the Belkin Router to
something in the 192.168.0.x range to make access easier in the future.
 However, you much choose a value for x that is *not* within the
D-link's DHCP range.  You'll have to verify the config of the D-link to
see what it's current DHCP range is.

Either way, I would suggest putting a label on the Belkin with it's IP
address, so that any future technician will know how to get to it
without using the reset button, which must now never be pressed.
(Hitting reset on the Belkin will re-enable the DHCP server, which will
royally mess up your networking until someone is able to sort it out.)
