Default Using a Router as an access point...HELP!

K quick run down on the specs of everything

running XP home
Belkin 54mbps wireless router (connected to my computer)
Belkin 54mbps wireless card
Linksys 54mbps wireless router (want to use this as an access point)

Ok, well I have a problem, the signal in my room is horrible from my belkin router. I was talking with a friend and he told me I could use another router as an access point of range expander. So I picked up the Linksys router for a real good deal and can't figure out how to get them to work together. I would like to keep my Belkin router attached to my PC downstairs while I want the Linksys to be simply used as an access point in my bedroom.

Can I do this? And if so how? This has caused me so much trouble today trying to figure all this out!

Ah!!!!!!!!! NO!!!!!! you suggested to buy a hub NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER BUY HUBS they suxorz sooooooooo bad!!!. Well unless it is a 2port hub aka bridge (well sort-of). If it is just one computer just cross-over cable it.

Buttttt if it is more than 1 computer ugh switch it.
