Hi,
I've documented the necessary steps in order to configure a guest network using two tomato routers and achieve the desired objectives (listed below)
Also, please point out any foreseeable issues, recommendations, best practices and optimizations which could be addressed based on this setup so that this thread can serve as a complete guide/reference for others in the future.
Current Setup:

Current Setup:
The devices are connected to each other as illustrated below:
Hardware Diagram:
modem --> [wan] primary router [lan 4] --> [wan] guest router
Hardware Diagram:
modem --> [wan] primary router [lan 4] --> [wan] guest router
Router Config:
Desired behavior:Primary Router
Device: WRT300N v1
Chipset: Broadcom BCM4704 chip rev 9 pkg 0
Firmware: Tomato Firmware v1.28.0023 Teaman-SDHC-VLAN-SNMP-PPTPD ND VPN
WAN: Connected to modem for DHCP IP from ISP
LAN 4: Connected to WAN on Guest router
Guest Router
Device: WRT54GS v4
Firmware: tomato-K26-1.28.RT-MIPSR1-115-Mini
WAN: Connected to LAN 4 on Primary router
Device: WRT300N v1
Chipset: Broadcom BCM4704 chip rev 9 pkg 0
Firmware: Tomato Firmware v1.28.0023 Teaman-SDHC-VLAN-SNMP-PPTPD ND VPN
WAN: Connected to modem for DHCP IP from ISP
LAN 4: Connected to WAN on Guest router
Guest Router
Device: WRT54GS v4
Firmware: tomato-K26-1.28.RT-MIPSR1-115-Mini
WAN: Connected to LAN 4 on Primary router
Primary objective:
- Restrict access from clients on Guest network to all devices on the Primary network + both routers (including config gui, ssh, telnet)
- Limit available bandwidth to clients on Guest router
