Router as Range Extender

I have a couple of netgear wireless G routers, and i was wondering if there was a way to use them as wireless range extenders. I'd like to be able to have one act like a regular router, then i'd like to be able to use the other one to extend the range of that network. I'd just buy a range extender but i'd rather not spend the money if there is a way to do it with the router i already have. Thanks

That's known as a bridge.
I don't know if the model netgear wireless G router you have has bridge mode, but you should be able to find it in your netgear wirless G router documentation if it has it. If you don't find a reference to bridge mode in your documentation then your out of luck.
