If you can't turn your secondary router into an AP, you can connect the LAN side of your secondary router to the main router so that they can be in a single network. also turn off any DHCP servers on there. Don't connect the WAN. That's the simplest fix.
This is the way.
Done correctly, all of the devices will be on one network (i.e. they can all see each other, and there is a single device - the primary router - that is providing NAT/DHCP services to all devices), AND there will be two wi-fi options in the house with two SSID's, one from the primary and one from the secondary. So you would get the benefit of a faster wireless connection for the Quest.
One minor question for OP: do you really need the secondary router and that network switch? I would guess the secondary router would have enough ethernet ports.
