Connecting 2 Routers Together.

My dad just bought a new Desktop computer for himself and we need to find a way to get that PC internet. My options are to get a Wireless N adapter to receive signal from my Router and just use that.

However, I was thinking if a better option is to get a another Wireless N router (Buffalo WHR-G300N or Asus RT-N12) and set it to receive signal from my main router. Then will I be able to use the ports on the second router to get my Dads computer access to internet? That router is DD-WRT capable and I will flash it to DD-WRT (again it would be a first). Lol, yes I know I am a newb but never really had the need for a alternate firmware so never bothered.

Please let me know if this is possible and what would be a better option between the two. Thank You.

If that's the only system that needs access to wireless then a wifi adapter is the cheapest and easiest way to go. If you have other devices like a network printer or something that also needs hooked up then getting a separate router and putting it into bridge mode would work better.
