Hotel wifi splashpage help

I need to run two separate routers off of one cable modem. Router one will handle a wired PC that runs business specific software. Router two will run 4 wireless access points & also houses a splash page.

Router one connects to the cable modem with a static WAN connection, and has to have it's dhcp active. It's a cisco RVS 4000

Router two is a buffalo running dd-wrt with nocatsplash active. All traffic running through this router must accept my terms and conditions prior to WAN access.

Router one's IP is 10.10.10.101 & I believe it's set up correctly. It's in gateway mode.

My question is, how do I configure router #2 to share the WAN connection? Some solutions on this forum suggested entering router #2's IP into #1's DMZ and then using router #1's IP as the DNS server for #2. IF that's the solution would I leave the WAN setting of #2 to "static" and just leave everything blank besides the DNS fields?

Thanks in advance!

I believe I answered part of my own question. I set the LAN gateway/DNS settings on Router #2 to the IP of Router #1. If that's the case, how should the WAN setting on router #2 be configured??

Thanks in advance.

If you’re going to go that route you would want to enter the static addressing from their private addressing range configured on the Cisco.

Say locally they have an address of 192.168.12.1/24 set for the computers behind the Cisco. The buffalo would be put on an open address in that range (192.168.12.2-192.168.12.254), whatever’s open. The DNS addressing would then be set to the DGW address, which is the Cisco’s IP address.

Ideally you could pay an extra $15ish a month for another 4 public static IP addresses so both routers could be hooked up directly to the modem.
