You could try double-routing.
Start with the RAX50 in front, and connect the Vodaphone router to one of its LAN ports. Then put the Vodaphone router in the DMZ. (Obviously turn off its wifi).
If that fails (though it shouldn't), try the other way around. Routing performance might suffer - depending on the Vodaphone specs - but you could still take advantage of the RAX50 wifi and other features like OpenVPN, etc.
