Sorry. I didn't mean to make you feel bad. I was just confused as to what you were trying to accomplish.
You may not need another router and it might be probably be better to use a switch. A switch will basically add more ports to your router and allow those ports to be further away.
I personally don't like to use routers as wireless bridges where I can avoid them. If you need to expand your wireless coverage area, you'll definitely either need a second router or an access point. If all you need to do is get coverage in one location rather than another and keep all your hardwired ports together, I think you are better off with a switch.
