Man this ascii diagram shit sucks people. To me this looks like you want the WIFI & LAN routers plugged into a switch that is plugged into the modem?

Since the router is the CPE, having 2 routers (CPE's) would require you to have 2 live IP's or a modem doing NAT & allowance for 2 CPE's.

"Modem bridge->live ip->CPE(NAT router)->IANA IP's" is what works.

I still say VLAN it & set IPTables, etc... to only allow WIFI 1 (open) to access Internet. Go a step further with my last suggestion & you could do all this with one WRT54GS or equiv & Talisman using 3 VLANS (LAN, Open WIFI, Secure WIFI) and some rules.
