I search google and found someone ask them same question to which someone said it's called daisy chain. I can't seem to find any info on this for router just for networks.
I don't think that routers have a wireless reciever built in. |

| In theory, you can. Configuring it as such might be somewhat of a challenge, if the standard firmware doesn't come with such options exposed. Though hell, you can run Linux on routers, so someone has (or could) make this happen. |

| you can do it with a wrt54g router using dd wrt firmware, in fact I am using that at my gf's house since her house is quite large and the wireless signal strength is stronger using the router as a client. if you need any help setting it up you can email / pm me |

Behold, a page for DDWRT describing this: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Wlan_Repeater
I imagine it's also possible with Tomato. |
