The Linksys router should have given you an IP-address for your computer, and the IP-address for the "gateway" (namely the Linksys router).
Start your web-browser.
Type
http://192.168.0.1 (or
http://192.168.1.1) to connect to the web-interface "inside" the router.
Access the 'WAN' settings-page on the router, to see what IP-address the Dynex router has given to the Linksys router, and what "gateway" IP-address that the Dynex router has offered to the Linksys router.
It might be best to change the range of "dynamic" IP-addresses that one of the routers hands out, e.g., '192.168.123.100' to '192.168.123.200' for the Dynex router, so that both routers don't try to hand-out IP-addresses in the *SAME* range.
