An access point is ideal. Your router might be able to turn into one.

It's likely the 2nd router is setup on the same subnet as your first one.

If you go into the routers settings and change the subnet to 192.168.2.0/24, assuming the first one is 192.168.1.0/24, it will start working. Plug the LAN cable into the WAN port.

If you have an ethernet cable from the house, is it a commercial cable or homemade terminations? If homemade, I would check two things. Is the color code 568B? Do you have a simple tester to verify that all 8 wires are connected?
