Default Wireless adapter receive signal

I was wondering if there's a way to have a wireless router recieve a signal like a wireless adapter. i tried to plug the router into my ethernet adapter and have it receive the signal from my wirless adapter that is connected to my router by bridging the connection. i dont know if this makes any sense or not.

the second router would be an access point, google it. If you have a computer with both a wireless card and an Ethernet card, that would also work.

Just setup 2 routers, one for xbox and one for PC's, 1 router behind the other, one serves as router with DHCP, other is static addressed from 1st router and serves only as an AP.

Google the how to xbox network with 2 routers type thing...I found a great guide before for a friend.

Trying to bridge 2 wireless routers without a cable...? I have 2 routers bridged one behind the other, but one is an AP and one's a host DHCP for all our connection points...but they're strung by a regular CAT 5 cable, port to port.

I didn't think you could bridge 2 wireless routers...wirelessly...with no cable...last time I read...
