Re: Alternatives to bridging @aefstoggaflm,
Thank you for such detailed response.
Choice number one - Double NAT
#1 I don't think it's a viable option. I have PBX running, IP phone from the office, and ATA for family. It took me awhile to set everything up without double NAT. not sure I want to endure more anger from Mrs or coworkers when calls don't connect or voice quality sucks.
Also, I would prefer to have single subnet. I have Windows AD for all computers, and non-AD for other devices (PBX, printer, DVR). The fact that I can connect by name (and name points to the same IP) makes it much easier. Again, having multiple subnets complicates things significantly.
#2 Access from internet is not a priority
#3 2Wire 3600HGV has four RJ-45 ports (I assume they are 100Mb, and not Gigabit ports) but access from internet is not a priority
Choice number two - converting the second router into a Hub/Switch/Wap.
Again, I appreciate the detailed instructions. It's somewhat different in OpenWRT, but basically, of course, it's a similar process. I see that as my only choice 
Now, back to my original question - I am a little nervous about the advanced functionality that I am about to lose with this gateway... This is probably a question to people who are running 2Wire 3600HGV and are trying to push its router functionality to technical limits...
