When the configuration is done, put the old router in place. Then connect an Ethernet cable between them, plugging into the regular Ethernet ports of each. Do not connect it to the old router's Internet/WAN port.
If he was to run a cable to the secondary router, he might just as well run a cable directly to the machine.

If you have a 4-port router + WAN (converted to AP) then you can connect up to 4 PCs to the AP - you don't need a secondary router unless you want more PCs.
And no, you don't use the WAN port unless you are hard wiring to a broadband router.
