Which part? Running cable or configuring up the access point? It's no
more difficult than setting up a repeater.

Configuration is typically done through a web interface on the router.
Out of the box you would connect a PC or laptop directly to the new
router, connect to the router's administrative web page, then change
some settings. You would disable the router's DHCP server, set the
wireless channel, SSID and wifi password, then change the IP address of
the router to be a fixed address on your existing network. Reconnect the
PC to your existing network and connect the new router to the old one by
connecting between one of the new router's LAN ports (not the WAN port)
to a LAN port on the existing router.

Ask questions here if you like. Shouldn't take much to walk you through
it.
