At some point, you decide whether you want to go further into the dark 
art of connecting everything with everything your way or just stay within 
the confines of "consumer electronics". Since you seem intent on doing 
things your way, why not go all in and install OpenWRT on the two WiFi 
routers? That way, you can route everything just the way you want to. :)

Notice the cost in time and effort.
