It could be because the older cables are off low quality, or theres some other cabling running near them thats causing some signal disruption or weakness that the 2nd netgear router doesn't like.

Do some major file transfers with the original configuration and run some kind of network monitoring program to see if you're dropping packets....I'm no expert and it's the only thing I can come up with.
