Daisy chain two MI424WR routers?

Question

I've been googling but have been unsuccesful and my friendly automated Verizon CR pop up box has no clue what I'm asking him :-)
Given the configuration in our house, we can only hardwire into the FIOS Internet in one location (with a MI424WR router), and I need a hard connection at a 2nd location to activate my slingbox.
I have a 2nd MI424WR that I'd like to daisy chain to the 1st one, at the secondary location where I have the slingbox.  Once I have internet access at the 2nd location, I assume I can then get the slingbox working off of that internet signal at the 2nd router.
So....can anyone explain simply, step by step, how I can daisy chain the routers such that the 2nd router can piggyback on the 1st router's internet access?
Thanks so much - and the simpler and more straightforward the instructions, the better - I'm not the strongest techie in the world!

wOw! how confusing.   
Actually, Your 2nd Verizon Router can be turned into just a basic switch, so no need to go purchase anything. - To make it act like just a switch instead of a router, You need to access that router's configuration page and turn off the 'DHCP Server' function.
to do that you need to connect a computer to that 2nd router via an ethernet cable (Plug the power cord in for that router, but do NOT connect that router to the internet)  plug the cable from your computer into one of the 4 LAN ports on that router (not the WAN port)
open your internet browzer on the computer connected to that router and type in 192.168.1.1 in the address bar <- that should connect you to the page to enter the configuration pages of that router.
NOTE:  If you hold in the reset button on the back of that router for 15 seconds, then let it go and wait about 2 minutes before you try the above process,  you will have reset the default access codes on that router to make it easiest to gain access to....  the default login name = admin, and the default login password = password (or password1)    You may be directed to change the password the first time you access the router, but that is up to you if you want to change it.
Any way, log into the router    choose 'advanced' at the top, choose 'yes' you want to proceed, then look for 'IP Address Distribution' in the main part of the screen, open that,   you should see something like 'Network (Home\Office)' and on that same line out to the right you see a box labled 'Action'  - click on that 'Action' box and another box opens.  AT the top of that new box you see a listing for 'Services' and under that the only service listed should be 'IP Address Distribution'  with a drop down menu to the right.  By default it should say "DHCP Server".   Click on the drop down menu and choose 'disable'.   Then click on 'APPLY' at the bottom, then choose "logout" on the left.    
NOTE:   If you ever need to reset that router, it goes back to the default settings, which makes it a DHCP server again.  (There is a way to 'save' your current configuration to the computer the Router is attached to, so that you can 'restore' the current settings in the future without needing to go through all the steps here.) 
after you have completed this, you need to connect the ethernet cable coming FROM your 1st router (which is the one assigning IP addresses) [plugged into one of the 4 LAN ports on the first router]  to the second router by plugging that into the WAN port of the second router.    Then connect an ethernet cable from one of the LAN ports on the 2nd router to your device.
Your device will then receive an IP address.
NOTE:    The easiest, fastest way to have all this 'just work', will be to turn off the first router BEFORE you connect the second router to it.    Turn off all devices connected to the first router.   Have your 2nd router turned off as well as whatever you are going to be connecting to the 2nd router.   TURN everything off.    Then make all the connections.  Then FIRST turn on the first (main) router.   wait until you have the internet light is green on that first router before you turn anything else on.  SECOND, turn on the second router and wait until the internet light on it is green on it before you turn on anything else.    Then turn on whatever devices.   It should all just work.
