Transform a Comtrend modem into an access point

Hello,
I have two WiFi modems, one of which is equipped with an ADSL connection. Can I use the other one as an access point by connecting it to the first one with an RJ45 cable to redistribute the WiFi (kind of like a bridge)?
If yes, please tell me how to configure the second one.
This is very urgent.
Thank you in advance.

    Hi

    I assume you're talking about a modem/router

    If so, that's what I'm doing with a second Livebox

    Only restrictions are to disable the DHCP server on the one serving as the access point and if you can, give it a different private IP from the first router but in the same subnet (e.g. 192.168.1.254 instead of 192.168.1.1)
    Don't use an address that is within the DHCP server range of the first modem/router

    Thank you kaumune
    Is there nothing special about the configuration of the second modem (access point)?

      ??? Well yes, what I just wrote to you

      Maybe change the SSID in the Wi-Fi settings again if by chance it was the same as the first one
