This has only been covered about 20 times in the last year. One more
time for the Google challenged.
1. Change the IP address of the router to 192.168.1.2. The idea
is to not duplicate the IP address of the main router
2. Optionally set the SSID and encryption keys to the same on both
routers.
3. Ignore the WAN port. The WAN port is not used.
4. Turn OFF the DHCP server on the 2nd router.
5. Connect a cable between one LAN port on the first router, to a LAN
port on the 2nd router. You may need a crossover cable. Make sure
the front panel light are correct for the ports when you plug in the
cable.

I assume that this is a corporate network and that you are required by
company policy to ask the IT department before attaching anything to
the network. In many companies, this is sufficient to have your
emplyment terminated as it constitutes a major security risk to the
rest of the network. Get permission before you even think about doing
this.
