Hi there.
Basically I have the situation where I have a wireless router running across the road, and I can get a wireless connection in the two rooms closest to the road. However, I have a PC one room over that i cannot move, and that requires a connection. Basically it looks kind of like this (very rough):

My main router is a Buffalo running DD-WRT, but I also have an older ASUS, also on DD-WRT. I was wondering if there was a way to use a combination of by PC in the house that has a connection, and my old router, to make a wireless repeater? e.g. I plug an ethernet cable from by PC's network card into the routers WAN port, fiddle with some settings, and use it like that?
