This will be a similar setup to my own, so in theory ...

On the new router:

1. Configure the WAN side to use DHCP. It won't really matter as
there's nothing going to be connected there but that's what I did on
mine.

2. Give it a local static IP address in the same IP range as your
existing network but not one within the existing routers DHCP range.

3. Turn off DHCP.

4. Configure wireless networking with a different SSID AND different
channel to the existing router.

5. If it has a choice of operating mode between router and gateway, as
my Linksys has, set it to router.

6. Connect an Ethernet cable from a LAN port to a LAN port on your
existing router. The cable may need to be crossed; it depends on
whether either router is auto sensing.

On the SB:

1. Configure wireless access to the new router's SSID.

That, I think, should do it.
