Can I use two DLink DI-524 wireless routers as a 'repeater'?

Sorry for messing up the terminology, but here's my situation. I've got one DLink wireless router hooked within my office LAN (with IP address

192.168.1.100). It works fine - laptops are able to connect to it wirelessly.I have an additional router which I want to use to wifi-enable my home (which is about 40 feet away - but the concrete inbetween doesnt let the signal of the first penetrate).

Now, can I have the second router configured in a such a way that

(a) it has no ethernet wires attached to it (b) it serves as a 'repeater' of sorts to allow the laptops connecting to it to access the office network

If so, how do I configure my 2nd router?

Lemme know if my situation isnt that clear...

Thanks, Sid
