right. Click on this LINK for additional instructions
The article below can shed more light on setting up a 2 nd router in two different
ways..
Router Bridge, Connect Two Routers – Router

What is a Router Bridge?
A Router bridge connects two or more routers to extend the range of your network,
providing additional Ethernet ports and wireless access points. But before you
begin, you must first decide how each router will be used. Therefore, you need to
know what you are trying to achieve and get clear on what you expect from each
device.
For example; do you want to extend your WiFi range, partition your network into
subnets, or bridge two networks together? And, how will these two routers be
connected, with an Ethernet cable, or over a wireless bridge? In this section we‟ll
cover how to connect two routers (router behind router) using an Ethernet cable.
How to Connect Two Routers?
Using an Ethernet cable is the easiest way to connect two routers. Setting up a
wireless bridge isn‟t much more difficult but there are some things to consider
regarding performance. Most Tomato firmware mods offer five wireless modes to
choose from and I‟ll cover each one individually in a later tutorial. For now, let‟s
stay focused on how to connect two routers with an Ethernet cable. For the sake of
this tutorial, the term “primary” represents the “host” router.
TIP: It is not recommended to run Ethernet cable in excess of 100 meters (328 feet)
when connecting two routers. I also recommend using Cat5e/Cat6 cable for
maximum throughput. If you are running older routers, you can get by with Cat5
