How do 2 WLAN Router work together?

Hi,
we have an ASUS WL 500 g WLAN-Router in our home for internet. But the
signal isn't good in all for the computers so I want to install a
second wlan-Router (ACER Broadband router) in the rooms. What must I
look for? Is it possible to drive 2 wlan-routers at the same dsl-modem?

Or is it possible that the ACER is taken the signal from the
ASUS-router and give it in the other rooms like an accesspoint? Does an
accesspoint need a cable from the modem or can the ACER take it from
the ASUS-router?

I found nothing in the manuals, so maybe there are other was to do.
Thanks for help

If you want one subnet then plug a cable from the ASUS lan side to the
ACER lan side
and disable DHCP on the ACER. The ACER becomes a switch with an access
point.
Or plug a ASUS lan side into the Wan port of the ACER and leave DHCP
on
in the ACER for a separate subnet. The gateway address for the ACER
will be the ASUS IP
address
