I need an ethernet port for a space without one, for VoIP phone. Network access is through R6260 wireless router in another space for wireless devices. I have a working spare N300 WNR2000V2 router and wonder if I can wirelessly connect his N300 with my R6260 router for RJ45 Ethernet port access. I won't need PoE. The phone will have have separate AC power?

What you want is called a wireless bridge. Purpose-built wireless
bridges exist. Some router models can be configured to act as wireless
bridges. My quick look at the WNR2000v2 documentation suggest that your
antique does not offer such a mode.
Your local thrift store might offer more capable devices.
If running an Ethernet cable would be very difficult, then there
exist adapters to use existing power wiring or co-axial cables, instead,
but these tend to cost more than plain-old Ethernet cables, and may be
less fast and reliable. A Web search for, say:
powerline adapter
and/or:
moca adapter
should find many things.
