Where did that suddenly come from? What was that XRM570 all about?
You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:

So you have two routers using the same Internet connection?
It gets messier and messier.
What is this unnamed "second router"? How is it set up? Wifi repeater? Router?
Two routers on your network can cause headaches. For example, you can end up with local address problems. Among other things, the other router can misdirect addresses that the Netgear router usually handles, such as routerlogin.net or the usual IP address for a router, 192.168.1.1.
This explains some of the other drawbacks.

Bit of a stretch for wifi, especially 5 GHz and the material is likely to soak up the wifi signal. Depending on the quality of the internal mains circuit, it might be worth investigating Powerline Ethernet.
