Creating private and guest wireless at a small business

I have a Cisco E3000 router and a Linksys WRT54GS router.  I want to use the E3000 to serve up a private network with IP range 192.168.1.x/24 and the Linksys to provide guest access  (without a password) with IP range 192.168.10.x/24.  They'll share a common Comcast internet connection.  I was planning on connecting the Linksys to the private network, but I don't want anyone connected to the guest network to see anything on the secure network.  What's the best way to pull this off?  Thanks.

you need to connect them to a vlan so they cannot connect to your secure side

I think your idea is good

192.168.1.x/24
192.168.10.x/24

these are two different networks so one cannot access the other without a routing in place, which is not there by default. VLAN is bit complicated for this scenario and has to have better routers. I will say go ahead with your initial idea.
