You can only have one Router connected to the phone line, but otherwise
setting the old one up as a repeater would probably be the best thing to do,
providing that the old Router can be set up that way. I can't comment on that
without seeing the Model Number (and always assuming that TT provide a
downloadable manual).
If that isn't possible, you may be able to connect the old router to the new
one with an Ethernet cable and set the old one ups as an AP with the same
ESSID and credentials. You'd need to have them in the same room in that case
(or drill holes in your walls).
