Yes, but you should turn of the DHCP feature in the 2nd router. You just need a switch to extend the number of devices in your network. If you have a switch it will be much easier IMHO.

trick is not to connect to the 2nd routers wan port but a lan port with a crossover. Turn dhcp off the 2nd router so it flows from the first.
