Here, you do it like this, just apply the IP(s) based on what your
gateway wire router is using.

It doesn't make any difference wire to wire, wireless to wireless, wire
to wireless, or brand name.
The principles are the same. The second router becomes a switch when you
disable the DHCP on it. It becomes a wire/wireless AP switch, since the
router has built-in switch technology.

What you should have gotten was standalone wireless access point WAP and
plugged it into the wire router. The WAP is a bridging device that
brings two networks together as one network.
The wire and wireless that is using the wireless router as the gateway
for the LAN and WAN. You converted the wire/wireless router to do the
same thing.
