It sounds as though it may have been the router that assigned the IP address. This address is necessary for your computer to connect to the internet and if it seems in anyway invalid then the computer will not be allowed to connect. So here is a way to fix that issue. If the old router assigned the IP then the new router does not recognize it as being valid.

control panel
network and internet
network and sharing - this is a title and there are smaller links under it - click on the title
view status = link after Local area connection
properties
double click on Internet protocol version IPv6 (you will need to repeat these steps with IPv4 also)
make sure that optain IPv6 (IPv4) address automatically is chosen.
make sure that...

you need to set your second router as an Wi-Fi AP router and connect it to a normal Lan jack on the first router that is managing the Wan port (internet)
you cannot just put a full blown functional router connected to the first they will interfere with each other. (if your intentions is to run a second router as a wifi extender)

maybe if you explain what you are attempting to do with both routers we can help you configure it5 hardware and software wise.
please provide both model numbers of the routers to make this easier

make sure that optain DNS server address is automatically is chosen
click ok and restart you computer with your cable connected
If your problem was you IP address this will resolve it.

if you still have issue feel free to email me I will do what I can to help.
