Default piggybacking/connecting 2 routers together

i have two wireless routers. and i was wondering if i could piggyback both of them together. i need a few more ports for computers. i heard that i can just plug one router into the other, both in the 4th port, or the last port on my router.

Yes, you can do that.

In the router you are wanting to make a hub, turn off DHCP and NAT and just use the ports that are in the router part, not the internet/WAN port (leave that one unused). If it has an uplink port, use that to connect the routers. If it does not, it should auto-sense it.
