I want to tgo from ISP > Router(4 port)hardwire > Router(4 port)hardwire. I am having a hell of a time in the "Advanced Routing section" of the router's admin page.

You really should just get a switch to add for the additional connections. A router will work if you disable all its routing abilites but it was never intended to be used that way.
If you really want to use a second router, on the second one disable DHCP for LAN then connect its WAN port to one of the LAN ports on the other router. (you only want one DHCP server for your LAN)
If you are doing this wirelessly just use the WDS functions in the router.

You only need one acting as a router and one as a bridge. On the first router turn on your DHCP or assign IP addresses. Then in the second router make the appropriate changes. IE accept incoming DHCP (or put in the static IP address you assigned in the first router) and turn off routing, Give that a try. Or get one 8 port router. 8-)

You may used as your guide in the connection of 8 pcs to router

With two 4 port routers, unless they both have uplink(?) ports, the best you can do is 6 systems because 1 port on each router will be required to tie them together.
