Map A Drive on a Different Subnet

[AndyCr15]

Hopefully, I've got the correct terminology. For one reason of another, I have a file server on a different access point than my main PC. If my fileserver is 192.168.2.X and I'm on 192.168.1.Y can I still (easily) map a drive from the file server? (I can't ping one from the other, either way round )

It's not the end of the world if I can't, but would be nice if I can

why are there 2 different subnets just because there is more than one access point?

Makes sense I guess. Sorry, I don't really know much about networking.

What is your router and access point setup?

Yes, sorry, it's two routers. BT Homehub 5 as the modem, a few PC's off this one, then an old ASUS router connected to that (which connects to a VPN). Do I just ask the ASUS to take its IP from the Homehub like any other network device would?

Thanks. I'll have a play over the weekend. If I need to, I can move the file server back over to the other router without too much issue and that would solve that problem.
