It depends on the router.  Some have a 'bridge' mode that will allow you 
to use them to connect to another access point.  If your router doesn't 
support bridging and you are feeling brave and adventurous, and your 
router is supported, you could try flashing it with something like 
dd-wrt (http://www.dd-wrt.com/), which will make you route do a LOT more 
than it could from the factory, including bridging.  Unfortuately, if 
you, mess up the flash, you could have a nice wireless brick on your 
hands.  If it does work, it's well worth it though.
