Default Wireless router to Wireless router

Hey, hope I have posted this in the right section. Here is my problem...

I currently have my wireless router connected to one of the PC's in my house the PC is both wired and wireless. The wireless router works fine with other devices such as laptops, phones etc... which is good.

I recently got another PC for another room in my house and this only has wired connection capabilities. However I have another wireless router (Netgear DG834G V5) which I plugged in to my new computer to try and connect to to my main wireless router so that my new computer can have access to the internet, however I can't seem to do this. After a few Google searches I'm still stuck (mainly because I don't know what I'm doing), But anyway is it possible to do this with what I have? If so is anybody willing to give me some help on the topic?

Thanks in advance James

Wireless routers are signal sources. they do not associate with each other. Associate meaning set up a two way connection session.

Clients associate with routers. Clients include Wireless NIC cards in PCs, wireless cards in laptops, and wireless bridges.

you want a wireless bridge. Some wireless routers can be made to behave like a wireless bridge by loading third party firmware. I did not see that Netgear on the list at DD-WRT.

yeah I looked at that list two I was just hoping Yeah may have to invest in a bridge then. It would be possible with a usb wireless dongle thing as well yes?

Thanks in advance James

A WIFI dongle will do the job very easyly.
And it is rather cheap now.
