Is it possible to create this setup

I access the internet through a netgear wireless router connected to an adsl modem. I also have a technicolor 546v6 wired router connected to a separate phone line used as a vpn network, currently this router is connected to my nic and I used route ADD to route 10.2.2.0 ip to this router.
Ive made a network diagram in the best of my ability (please don't laugh) of the network configuration I'm interested in.

I want to disconnect the technicolor router from my pc and connect it to the netgear wireless router and somehow route the 10.2.2.0 ip to the technicolor router. From my limited understanding this can be done using the static route feature in the netgear configuration. I would really appreciate if someone could tell me how to properly connect the technicolor route rto the netgear wireless router, what cable should I use (regular/crossover) and what configurations have to be made in the router settings.

Here are the links to the routers specs:

You shouldn't need a

You shouldn't need a crossover cable. The Netgear should definitely be able to handle the routing with static routes, at least if you're running open source firmware. The specifics will depend on what software you're running on it - the GUIs are different.

Thank you so much for your

Thank you so much for your reply, I'm currently waiting for the router to arrive, and than I'm definitely going to try your suggestion on using static route, and will report back with the results. In case it won't work, from what I've read I'll have to change from stock to dd-wrt and use the policy based routing (iptables....).
