Bridging two routers

I am upgrading to fibre from the bog standard broadband and have a question that hopefully someone here can answer.
Currently I am using a Draytek 2820 router with an ethernet network. One of the ports on the Draytek goes to a Netgear WiFi router that is on a different subnet to the ethernetwork. The WiFi network runs free access to visitors without compromising my private ethernetwork. To make the WiFi really user friendly I have not used password control but web content filtering with Drayteks GlobalView licence.
So my question is, Can I bridge the Technicolor TG528N as supplied by Plusnet to my Draytek 2820 or do I need to upgrade my Draytek router to a fibre one?

According to this old BT forum thread, you can simply connect your Draytek's WAN2 socket directly into the OpenReach modem, and set up a PPPoE connection on your Draytek for the WAN2 interface. You don't need to use the TG582n or buy a new router.
