To create a LAN you need one (1) DHCP server to assign IP addresses to the clients. The easiest way to connect 2 routers into a LAN is to go into the Configuration settings of one of the routers , disable its DHCP server, and then connect its WAN port to a LAN port on the other router. Then router#2 just acts as a switch for the top-domain router's DHCP server.
