Trying to figure out if my network is setup correctly. (diagram included)

The router in bridge mode connected to the modem has a problem with WiFi and is in a telco utility box at bad location in the house, so I purchased a netgear wifi router and put that faulty router in bridge mode and the netgear at a central point in the house for wireless connections.

Because of this, network traffic doesn't pass through that same router first.

Right now the NAS is on a wired connection through the netgear, but its loud and I want to move it somewhere else, which would make it a direct connection to either the linksys switch or a port off the bridge mode router.

How do I make sure all of this is on the same network and accessible between each other?

For example, since the iMac is wired to the switch rather than the wifi router it doesnt appear within the same network and the remote control app I use doesnt 'see' the imac on the same network.
