    ok mine is not the same but might steer u in a direction , mine go like this :
    internet provider pluged in to wan port of firts router , wifi settings is done and dhcp is setup all working , from router 1 ( ip 192.168.0.1 )i have a lan cable that go into a second wifi router in a difrent spot , wifi settings match router 1 100% ssid and password (so wifi devices just connect no need for second password ect...) but router 2 (192.18.10.1)DHCP is Disabled u dont want router 2 handing out IP addresses that is the job of router 1 , . plug router 1 in pc and do settings and remove it then plug router 2 in pc and do setting and connect the whole system and report back , and google a bit

    btw u plug router 1 lan cable into router 2 any port NOT into the wan port
    Ask a dumb question and become wise for the rest of your life, but act wise and stay dumb
