What are the exact router models?

If you plug that hardline into a regular port (not the uplink port) on router #2 then router #2 should act like a switch and be on the same network as router #1.


If you're trying to share files between the two computers then: https://itsfoss.com/share-folders-local-network-ubuntu-windows/

Tried this, and it works, but then router 2 doesn't kick out Wifi internet anymore.

I'd make sure both of the routers are on the latest firmware.

Then I'd log into the Nighthawk router and try these steps to enable access point mode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1vSs0ssLNM

If that doesn't work then you could always ask in the networking thread too: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3442319&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=672
