May I ask why you felt it necessary to have two routers and to sub net the LAN? One of my guiding principals is KISS; "Keep it Simple Stupid" ( myself being the subject of the phrase).

I have a very extensive network in my home. It is a single sub net carrying VoIP and normal Ethernet traffic. Actually the VoIP is not on the net, just at the router. There is one Modem to the Cable, one Router with VoIP and 4 ports, 3 100 meg switches for distribution and three WAP's. Two of the WAPs service SSID "A" and one services SSID "B".

There are no firewalls on the LAN so there are no communications issues between hosts on the LAN but extensive protection is provided at the gateway for all external traffic.

The WAP's all run WEP 128 and the house, due to its construction, is very unfriendly to external signals (neighbors or cyber-stalkers wi-fi connection attempts). The total host count on the LAN is about 35 as many things electronic in my home have a micro-controller using TCPIP. One of the Servers runs DHCP merely because my router has a functionally weak DHCP service. One of my WAP's could also have run DHCP but I wanted the freedom of playing with that WAP for experimentation so I went with a software based DHCP.

Why not take the router/wap and replace it with a straight WAP eliminating another set of possible issues
