Just connect the Ethernet cable to the second router WAN port.

You will need to assign the WAN port an IP. I believe for management
purpose only. Then, disable the DHCP feature. At that point, the
second router looks more or less like a switch. The IPs will be issued
by the main router. Since all IP are from the same DHCP scope, - read,
same network - all host in your house will be in position to reach
each other
