    if you keep them on the same subnet and ip range you can just use one of the first ones lan ports as the modem/wan port on the other router and turn off the security/firewall on the second one as it isn't directly connected to the internet. Also, since they are identical models anything that got through the first one would get through the second if the security was on or not. This should allow you connect them together. However, what is usually better is to use 1 router and then have switches and access points off of it.

    ah if they are just access points just use a switch and run some cable between them, or if you can't run cable between floors you could try possibly a bridge and switch.

    not all routers can act as wireless bridges, usually the ultra expensive ones have that option.
