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.
