This is the giveaway sign of the suggestion by ekhalil.
Two routers on your network can cause headaches. For example, you can end up with competing DHCP servers and local address conflicts. To avoid that you may need to set the routers up with the right DHCP and IP address settings.
Unless you have specific reasons for using two routers, to create two separate networks for example, it is usually easier to use just one router and then to set up the second router as a wifi access point, as ekhalil suggests. Netgear advises this, as does just about every site you will visit.
