Two router/modem ADSL

Hi all, Archers!
Since I'm doing some testing with servers & co., i need having some pc in LAN. Until now i used a switch. Now i need also an internet connection for these pc, but my router/modem is in another room. Is it possible to connect via Wireless to the router and sharing a LAN and internet? How can i do it? What do i have to buy?

Re: Two router/modem ADSL

I bought a wireless router on eBay to extend our wired network.

A cable goes from LAN port to LAN port.
My existing wired router has an IP address of 10.0.0.2
I set the wireless router to a fixed IP of 10.0.0.100 and turned off its DHCP server so that only the wired router gives out IP addresses to connecting client PCs

The WAN port on the wireless router (i.e. the bit normally connected to the Internet) is unused.
