Using a wireless connection within home network

[DeadSeaSquirrels]

I'm not sure if this is a bridge sort of solution, but I have 2 computers. One has a Wirelss N card, I have another computer with a wireless G card, and I have a wireless N router connected to my modem, and an older wireless G router closer to my computers. So my hope is to use the first computer to grab the signal from the wirless N router, then plug it into the wireless G router next to it and have it broadcast the signal so that the second computer can get to the internet as well. Is this possible and if so, how, or what should I be looking up.

There few ways to go about it usually if both Routers support WDS it can be done without a computer in between.

You can try what you suggest too.

Connected the second Router to the computer configure it as an Access Point and Bridge the Wire and the Wireless Network cards on the in-between computer.

This example is a two wires Bridge but it works the same if the card is Wireless.

Man, I saw the tutorial but I still don't quite get it because the tutorial has the computer acting as a bridge to the secondary computer, but I am trying to make my local router do that. Do I make my dual-NIC card computer the bridge somehow then plug it into the WAN port of my loc-router, and then my loc-router will basically be connected to the internet and can start broadcasting to my local computers?

Sorry, but I'm really trying to understand this.

If the older router supports a third party firmware it would be easier to check into that since most offer a repeater functionality, otherwise you would need to leave the pc on so it could act as a bridge

I don't mind leaving the computer on if that's what it requires.

The "G" system should be able to associate with the "N" router ... are you using both routers just to close the distance?

That's not the only reason, but that is one of the reasons. Another reason is how I want to share files between two computers, and have one computer hidden from the G network, but associated on the N network. I don't think I'm explaining it well, but not sure it makes a difference. I just want to be able to get an internet connection from my G router, and then have that internet connection piped to my N router so that another computer with an N card can use it...that's basically it.
