bridge 2 wireless routers together, basically router_1 is the regular router, router_2 is specially configured (i.e. a wireless switch, for all intents and purposes). Everything you connect to router_2 will go through router_1 as if it was directly connected.
Google for WLAN bridge, the concept and how-to do it is pretty much available in all routers these days - ideally, you use 2 routers of the same make/model. same thing as below except there's no easy 1-press button to auto-magically handle it all.
