It /IS/ simple.

I have a working setup as I said, with no problems! Just connect your patch cable between the two routers and it's done! If you need dhcp capability just make sure only one router has it enabled (decide which connection you want as your 'main' one for devices to use as default). For other machines use static IP and manually set the gateway yourself or do as I have and have a script you can run to pick the gateway from a menu as and when you want to change it - simple!
