What's an "M60 router"? "MR60"? Look for "Model" on the product

You'd need to connect the cables. Whether the second router would
then configure itself appropriately depends on how you do things.
One plausible arrangement would be to configure the second router as
a wireless access point, rather than as a full-function router.
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your (actual) model number,
and look for Documentation. Get the User Manual (at least). Read.
Look for "Set up the router as a WiFi access point".

you did.

See above.

I don't know what that means. The MR60-as-WAP will establish its own
"WiFi", but the devices which are connected to it should be on the same
LAN subnet as all the other LAN devices.
