For best performance I recommend to connect both by Ethernet cable if somehow possible.
Or upgrade to dual band routers and use 2.4GHz only to connect both wirelessly and use the 5GHz for wifi sharing.
Both options are possible, but this is my point of view:
2.4GHz indoor PtP: will reach longer distance and through more obstacles, only one 2.4GHz channel occupied by the link
5GHz indoor PtP: better throughput, but on longer distance or more walls weak signal, two 2.4GHz channels occupied by APs for clients
