You would not need a wireless router to do this. The second router wouldn't be handling the Internet at all, so a wireless access point would be more appropiate. But if you connect your wireless router to the PC with a wired connection, you should be able to use the router as a wireless access point. On the same PC you'll have another wired connection going to the main router. You'll need to create a bridge between these two wired connections (as long as you have XP) and the wireless network should be extended.
