So I need to enter in some routing to achieve my goal.

Goal:

I need to be able to reach all of the systems downstairs that are on a different IP range.

Downstairs, I only need one computer to be able to login via FTP to a server upstairs.

Upstairs Router: 192.168.21.1/255.255.255.0
Destination IP Address:
IP Subnet Mask
Interface: WAN1, WAN2, LAN, DMZ
Gateway IP Address:

Downstairs Router 192.168.100.1/255.255.255.0
Destination IP Address:
IP Subnet Mask
Interface: WAN1, WAN2, LAN, DMZ
Gateway IP Address:

How do I fill in the blanks?

Or should I just put the downstairs router on the DMZ port on the front of my Netgear FVX538?
 
route add 192.168.100.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.21.1 -p

What this says is, get to the 100.0 subnet through the 21.1 default gateway.

Same with your downstairs router but it'd be, route add 192.168.21.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.100.1 -p

This will work if the router you're putting these into know about those subnets.
 
So just to confirm: (I'm doing this via the GUI, not command line)

Upstairs Router: 192.168.21.1/255.255.255.0
Destination IP Address: 192.168.100.0
IP Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Interface: LAN
Gateway IP Address: ?? What goes here 192.168.?.?

I'm going to assume the default gateway IP they're referring to is the DG that is used to get to that subnet so in your example, the DG would be 192.168.21.1
