If I were to get a second Wi-Fi router could I just theoretically connect the WAN port on the new one to LAN port on the old one, or would it be lots harder than that?
I would love to hear what anyone thinks.

If it doesn’t have an AP mode in the settings you can manually put it in AP mode.

But since it sounds like you (OP) hasn’t bought anything yet then probably easier to buy an Access Point device instead of another router.
I am building a home-lab so I am wanting to have a second network for the home-lab with out slowing down the family network so I don’t think WAPs are a option.
