If I were to get a second Wi-Fi router could I just theoretically connect the WAN port on the new one to LAN port on the old one, or would it be lots harder than that?

I would love to hear what anyone thinks.

LAN to WAN would double NAT the network. Put router 2 in AP mode, or buy a dedicated AP as others would suggest.
