Can I connect a wired ADSL router to another wireless router (or something) for wifi?

My company has a Zyxel Prestige 643 ADSL router (wired) in a back office. It's hooked up to a single desktop at the moment.

However, the boss wants wifi in the office - but for what ever reason - the Zyxel Router has to stay.

Now, is there a way that I can hook up another wireless router (or some other device) to the Zyxel Router to provide wifi?

yes. connect the ethernet output of the modem to the souce input of a wireless router. sometimes no configuration past this is necessary, but you may have to enable bridging to do what you want. Lots of sources online to help you- likely checking a run-through on google will be more helpful than the forum. you might find instructions specific to your router.
