Hi. If my question has already been answered, please direct me to the appropriate reference...

I'm no expert in this so please bare with me. I currently have one wireless router connected to my internet. I have a second wireless router which I don't currently use. Instead of spending on an extender to boost my signal to the 2nd floor of my house, I'm thinking of using this second wireless router upstairs but it would have to pick up the signal from the first via wireless, ie. I can't wire this second one to the first one. Is this possible and how?

You would want to research if said units can support wireless bridging. Otherwise they will not talk to each other wirelessly.
