Have look at this thread -
Non-Sky Router Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

If your Network type is MER, you may not be able to use the other Dlink. What makes you think it will be any better than the one you have?

just checked and its MER.

i struggle to get a signal in our conservatory
i may try a tp link usb wireless adaptor see if that improves the range

There are some lines which work on both MER and PPPoA, but if you are unable to get the router to connect it is likely yours is MER only.

Your best bet would be to use an ethernet cable to join the 2 routers, or if that is impossible a pair of Homeplugs to extend your signal into the conservatory with the second router connected there. This is a selection of what is available-
