This usually isn't recommended but yes it can be done. Before you hardwire the second router I would make sure to turn off the DHCP service in the second router and also change the static IP address so its not the same as your main router. Once these changes are made plug it in but don't use the WAN port on the second router. Once everything is powered up you should be able to connect to the internet. Another good rule of thumb is to choose two different SSIDs so you know which wireless AP your connected to Wink
