Hallo is it possible to connect two lan networks like this.

1st LAN (8 comps) connected directly to the 1st router/switch/AP ("all in one") (this router connected to the internet. (all this by cable) 2st LAN (7 comps) connected directly to the 2nd router/switch/AP ("all in one") (this router connected to the internet also (all this by cable) those 2 routers have separate WAN IP's

1st router with 2nd one connected to eachother using WIFI.

If you connect the two routers via wireless, as you've described, then you no longer have two separate LANs. On each router, the wireless AP is bridged to the wired Ethernet switch. Maybe you're OK with that. If so, then make sure that both LANs are configured with the same subnet address and the same subnet mask.
