router to have an internet connection and i have no idea what to do. if
you have any advice it would be greatly appreciated.


While it is possible to cascade   routers, just use one to connect to the
internet and use a switch to add more connections.


Some like to cascade to keep the wireless network separate
from the home network.  That has security advantages, though
it is less convenient if you do want to access home machines.
