Some wireless router mfg's such as linksys will allow you to set the router into "repeater" mode. Over long distances its not going to work too well, but short distances through a house would work fine. To set the router into repeater mode, read the info. on the mfg's website to see what's available, how to do it and whether or not you might need a firmware upgrade.
One other way is to setup a second wireless router on a different subnet and have it gatewayed to your primary subnet. Make sure in doing this though, you set your primary subnet channel to 1 and your secondary subnet channel to 11. This way, your freq's aren't near each other and you should get maximum through put.
Ex. cable/dsl <--> (global IP, dhcp'd from ISP, gateway pulled from dhcp)<external> wireless router 1 <internal> (channel 1)(192.168.1.1) <--> <internal> (192.168.2.1, gateway is 192.168.1.1) wireless router 2 (channel 11)
Setup like that would work fine.
