Here is my current setup

Modem in Room1 --> AC Wifi Router 1 in Room1 --> Cat6 LAN cable goes inside the wall to the TV in family room.

I didn't realize 2 thin concrete walls will drop the AC & N signal entirely in the family room. As I have a spare 2-port AC router, is it possible to do the following?

Modem in Room1 --> AC Wifi Router 1 in Room1 --> Cat6 LAN cable going to family room ---> AC Wifi Router 2 ---> Cat6 LAN cable to 4K TV --> everyone in the family room can get wifi

My questions are, Router 2 needs to setup as extender mode? Will I get both LAN, AC & N signals from Router 2? SSID cannot be set as same as router 1?
