A bridge between a router and computer?

there is a router upstairs connected to a modem but is too far away to connect with an RJ45 and no built in wireless,
is there a way that i can place another router in the basement to receive the originial routers wireless like a bridge? or any new product you know of?

also the computer is going to be connected with ethernet so i dont think a repeater works? or am I missing something?

From what you've said, there's no reason to think a bridge is needed. A USB wireless adapter will do the trick.

You need a wireless repeater placed between the router and the point where the weakest signal is. An make sure your router is located as high as possible, clear of ALL obstructions and not too close to any wall.

I don't think it's possible to bridge two routers together. I would just invest in a router with longer range if I was you.

Either place a repeater or install DD-WRT Firmware on a router.
You can look on their website for compatibility.
Lots of tutorials on the web for that.
