Yes, but you ideally want the second router in bridge mode, and use the WAN port as the uplink port to connect it to the primary router. If you just tie the LAN ports together, the wifi portion of the second router may or may not have network access depending on the internal architecture of the second router, if you're not in bridge mode.

Honestly, you'd be better off getting a switch and a dedicated wifi access point for what you are trying to do - the cost is going to work out similar, and there will be fewer configuration hassles if you aren't that familiar with networking.

Just run an ethernet connection from the LAN side ports on the primary router to the switch in the second location, and connect the wifi access point to that second switch.
