Bridging 2 routers in SOHO question

Have an ASUS RT-N66U (Router 1) wireless router connected to cable internet working fine in one end of the house. Decent enough coverage for most of the building, save the room where the TV is, at the far end of the house.



In a nutshell, would like to extend the range of the first router with a second router, wirelessly, both to connect wirelessly with the TV and to provide WI-FI access to laptops, cell phones, etc. while in the TV room, securely.



So, I picks me up a second RT-N66U (Router 2) and, after a bit of work, have them talking to each other, wirelessly, in "Wireless Router mode". Unfortunately, the only way this works is to have open access to the network, no security, no passwords, no MAC address filters, etc. As soon as security is turned on, the network fails at Router 2.



Suggestions for different settings, alternate hardware, etc.?



TIA
