If you don't have a router that actually supports Guest WiFi then the second option is the safest provided that you plug the WAN port of Router2 into a LAN port on Router1 and have a different network range on Router2 altogether e.g Router 1 WAN - as assigned Router 1 LAN- 192.168.1.1 Router 2 WAN - 192.168.1.2 Router 2 LAN - 192.168.2.x Ensure netmask is 255.255.255.0 on each.
