think it can be done?

ok I have a wireless G linksys router at one end of my house. Is is possible to have that wireless router connect to another wireless router and be able to have computes plugged into the lan on that one?
So it would go

Router 1 > router 2 > then from lan on router to into computers

Couldn't you just use lan from router 1?

You could, but you would need to run a cat 5 cable across the house to the other router... Which would be easy.
