    You can most likely do something that is in the link.

    You could use static IP(s) on one of the routers

    You may be able to use two different subnet masks to isolate the two
    networks.

    You can use VPN to secure the LAN between the routers, because I don't
    think you would be accomplishing anything by doing isolation of networks
    in a home situation, IMHO.
