you are missing something, I have made it work several times, it's really not that complicated.
for starters, what model router's are you using? you're asking model specific questions (where do I enter the SSID/encryption) without providing what kind of router you have.
to summarize, both routers need to be on the same channel, set up with the same encryption. one router should be DHCP, and the other should NOT be DHCP. it really doesn't matter which one. You need to also set them as 2 different IP address - 192.168.1.1, and 192.168.1.2. To do that correctly, you will need to separately config each router by attaching them directly to a computer, without them both being on the network simultaneously. after you config them, then you can hook them up on the network.
provide your router brand and model #'s and more descriptive info. can be provided.
