It not as easy as just setting the ID and password, you have to change a few more setting on the router to use it as an as a wireless access point. I can't remember exactly how to set it up. Some router manufacturers have guides on it. If you google it there are lots of videos on how to do it.

What kind of hub are you using?

Your second router, are you using it on bridge mode or router mode?

 

These questions will help determine what the next step will be to get your setup to work.

You also may want to make sure that both routers are not on the same channel as well.
