What exactly is he trying to do? There are very few circumstances where it's a good idea to have NAT disabled. Not to mention, in most consumer routers, it's not even an option.

If he already has a router handing out DHCP, disable DHCP on the Asus router, and use a switch port (rather than the WAN port) to connect the devices. Make sure the internal IP addressing matches up between the devices, though.

You can't have 2 wireless internets by connecting 2 routers together - EXACTLY what is he trying to do?

Nope. He would need 2 Internet accounts and 2 modems to do that. If this is DSL, he would also need 2 separate phone lines.
