  Yes 2nd router is already in AP mode.
  both 192.168.1.1 and Readyshare only discoverable IF connection between 1st and 2nd router is disonnected.
  
  Maybe i could use the 2nd router as primary? Is that possible since the primary now is a Modem/Router.

  Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

those are both pretty old and low performing devices.

Might be time to start checking into something from the current generation or just prior generation.

You'll see some solid performance improvements upgrading from wireless N devices.
