Bridge two routers by a port or switch?

What is the intended outcome?
 
To extend the wireless signal...My thinking was, the secondary router, the ethernet cable can go in to a port/switch then i can have one ethernet cable go in to the secondary router and then another wire going into a powerplug.....i hope that makes sense?

Hard to follow your description, but it seems you want a main router and an AP (access point).

What routers do you have and what firmware are they running (specifically).
 
Thank you for the reply. Apologies, im not very "techy". I was trying to say i think in simple terms that can i put the ethernet cable in to a hub/switch then connect that to the secondary router and powerplug?

I have the Asus AC-68 running the firmware Firmware Version:3.0.0.4.380_1842

The problem with having different AP is that once you move from one room to another the device in question (Phone or tablet) would have to be refreshed to join that AP?....

What networking devices do you have at your disposal?
