Do each of these have separate internet connections or are they plugged 
together?  If they are connected, the straighforward way is to connect 
on the LAN ports instead of connecting WAN from one into the LAN of the 
other.  Then disable the DHCP server on one of them and give it a static 
IP address in the same subnet the other uses but below the start of the 
DHCP range it hands out.  That makes everything a single LAN and able to 
talk to everything else.
