Hmm. Open the manual for the router you want to use to extend the reach
of your other one. See whether it contains a section on "bridging mode"
- if it does, you may be in business. If not, you're looking at laying
cable.
Actually, in my experience, laying cable is usually a better bet.
Dear Me,
What you're looking for is called a Wireless Repeater or a Wireless
Range Extender.
If you already have a second router, you can do what Jonathan said and
check if it can be used as a bridge.
The device I was talking about was designed specificaly for your needs,
so setup should be a breeze.
Another way to go would be to get a bigger/better antenna. If your
router has a detachable antenna, it's something worth looking into.
Hope this helps,
