Connect one router to another?

[Coolio]

Okay, so. I have a computer in my bedroom that has no possible methods of getting internet (other than buying a wifi card or a very long ethernet cable)
I have a router (or atleast, I think I do) somewhere. I was wondering if I could plug the router in to my computer via ethernet, but no connection to a phone jack (we have DSL) and then use the router and connect to the main network/router.

It's probably not possible, but just wondering.

well
you can connect one output on one router to the input on another, but I'm not sure if that would be satisfactory
or even what you're looking for, because quite frankly I have no idea what you're saying

why not just connect to the "main" router from your computer in the first place. youd have to run a cable from your other router to the "main" one anyway.

Okay, uh.

I found the router.

It's a Trendnet TEW-432BRP

he wants to know if his router can act like a wifi adapter and pick up wifi signals and use them to connect to the internet

yes

[Night Fox]

no, I don't think so
normally, routers don't do things like that
if ever, for that matter

I have two of these in my house: http://www.dlink.ca/products/?pid=dap-1522

I can't buy anything.

then you're stuff out of luck, even though long ethernet cords are dirt cheap and available almost anywhere
