That isn't how this works.

Why on earth would you have two routers? Why would you need a router outside of the firewall?

The one and only router is behind the firewall, not in front of it.
Never use a DMZ, it is extremely ill advised. Plus a switch doesn't impact the network in any capacity, they do not have addresses, only the devices attached to them.

Firewall - Router with port forwarding - switches if needed - devices.

Just download pfSense and play with it, you can do all of this with one re-purposed device.
