You can't connect the router on wifi with SSID and Password, however you can connect it directly to the other router by ethernet cable to expand your network.

Ok. And by using wifi ? if i have the ip of the router ? can i connect two router by wifi ? i'm surprised of that, basically if there is internet anyway where it from we can't anytime start from it. this means there is different level of internet provided .. is it an ip / dhcp question ? thanks

The router can't take internet by wifi, only ethernet cable. The router PROVIDES internet by wifi, it doesn't receive it.
What are you trying to accomplish with connecting the two routers?
Are you trying to expand your network?

yes, but i would liek to do it with AP isolation and bridge options who are known as existing on routers but not on wifi extender

If it's bridging, yes, I think this is what you're looking for:

It's a tutorial how to set a router to act as bridge

"You're now ready to connect your wired devices to the bridge router from anywhere in your home (within range of your primary router)." apparently, but i'm not sure, it seems that if i am in the same range of ip than the router, everybody will be able to see each other. that's what i want to avoid. so the unbridged mode seems to be the mode i'm looking for. the main problem is than on extending network we don't have the possibility to secure the network with ap isolation and unbridged mode (the last have to be confirm about security application). i was hopping that on dd wrt theres some possibility (maybe all after all). But, maybe the thing to set the router ip and all change something (or the extender do the same but recognize directly the ip on the ssid wifi of the router?) and permit others options. On dd wrt they are not responding, and there is no doc.

You want for the users connected to one router not be able to see the users connected on the other.

All you need to do is set the AP isolation on the main router, the clients connecting to the secondary router should also be affected, you need to at least check if that's the case.

edit: Also, it's really hard to read the walls of text... try pressing enter every now and then.

If you want to use a 2nd router to pass the signal along of another router, this is known as repeater mode, and most routers are capable of doing this. The detail is that it cuts the bandwidth in half as the repeater is both receiving and sending data, which is why it is preferable to have the second router wired to the network and to set it up as an access point.
