If you only use the scheduler to turn off the wireless radio and not the entire router, then yes you could add a wireless access point with an LAN to LAN connection and leave its wireless radio on 24/7.
But why not just disable the wireless scheduler and leave it on whenever you need it?
Would I connect the new router to the primary one to set it up that way? And if so, I won't have a problem with the primary ones schedule shutting down the flow in the 2nd one right? I'm just making sure all of this will work before I do it.

And to be perfectly clear, do you shut down the entire primary router or only the wireless radio?
One approach would be to use dd-wrt firmware on the units if they are capable, as the radio can be set up to a schedule for dd-wrt capable units and it could be set on either or both as you choose.
Some routers do contain firmware that already allows use scheduling without using dd-wrt, others do not.
