Two WRT54G routers for signal boost- how to?

I have two WRT54G routers but only use one. At a location up stairs in my home where I use my laptop with built in wireless my signal averages around 60% and I would like it to be better. My existing router needs to say where its at. Does anyone know if I can use the other router and set it up closer to my weak point to boost my signal strength? Using my second router as a repeater if you will. If so where do you know I can get detail instructions on how to set the configuration of them up. I currently use the latest sveasoft firmware but can flash it back to linksys too. Not interested in other option like hi-gain antennas and moving my equipment around or buying a repeater to improve it. I just would like to use my spare router so I can benefit from its use to help my low signal strength.

They make a liteweight thing (square device) that goes around the screen in seconds (think it's called sunshade, sunsaver, something like that). Similar to the one shown here (on sale for $27)

Was just wondering about the outside workers, how do you see your laptop screen when it sunny? I see advertisements about setting around the pool soaking up sunshine and surfing the web........I havent seen one laptop that I can see the mouse move around in the sun.

Peter Pan is right I dont have one now but I used one before it works great.

Thanks for the advice I guess I could do this as a last resort but I would like to do it wireless if all possible.

No problem. I just throw a towel over my head that also covers the laptop. Works fine if I remember to shake the sand out of the towel before it gets into the keyboard.

However, methinks this is the right answer:

Are you using Alchemy or Satori? I know Alchemy has the WDS repeater function, which should serve you well in this situation.
