Talking Wierd router question.

Is it possible to connect two routers. I have a main router(Linksys wireless N) and a spare that i am not using(Belkin wireless G). I have a Xbox 360 and a computer upstairs. The computer receives the internet connection and I share it with my xbox via ethernet cord (I'm too cheap to buy that overpriced network adapter Microsoft is selling.) Can I use the internet signal from my main router downstairs and send it to the spare upstairs to access Xbox live.

Just curious

Only if the router can be converted into a bridge compatible with the Linksys, which I doubt it can. Get one of these:

Even if that would work, there is a question of reliability. I recommend to continue using a wired connection for gaming purposes.
