the most obvious is your second rj45 cable is infact a cross over/xover cable and the router being old/cheap doesnt have rj45 auto (xover/straight)switching capability.
take both ends, put them together, and look at the colour sequence from left to right.
are they both exactly the same ,its a straight through rj45 cable.
are two of the colours swaped over, its an xOver cable.
replace the xOver for a straight through, it should work.

"Theres no switch on the router it's self"
those 4 ports are infact the switch, its the same on all routers, the routing is infact done by software inside and the SOC (SystemOnaChip) on the board just routes to those switch ports.
