You would need to run a CAT5 cable from your current router to the new one.

You would need a wireless Access point of the same manufacturer to "bridge" the two together to create that wi-fi network you're thinking of.

Actually, you need a wireless bridge to connect 2 wireless networks.

Linksys Access Points have a "bridge" mode you can set in a radial button to make them connect to each other.

True but: IMPORTANT: For the AP Client and Wireless Bridge modes, the remote access point must be a second Linksys Wireless-G Access Point (model number: WAP54G).

Could you please post what wireless routers you used? Can you do this same trick with different vendors equipment, say, a WRT54GL and a DLink-614?

Thanks.
