Best combination of a free and a non-free router (router and access point)

I have one free router (Netgear WNDR3800 with LibreCMC) and one non-free router (ASUS RT-AC66U with Tomato).

Until I get hold of a free access point (e.g. one more wndr3800), I would like to use the two routers in combination. But would it be best to have free router be the router and the non-free router the access point or vice versa? Or is it equally 'stupid' in regards of privacy?

I am not using a VPN service, but I would like to. If I do, could that be used to compensate for the potential loss of privacy when using the non-free router?
