Extend wireless range with second wireless router?

I have a Netgear router in the basement and sometimes have a hard time
getting a signal two floors up in a small house. I have a spare motorola
wireless router and was wondering if I can extend the range of the basement
router by placing the motorola somewhere on the main floor. Way off base?
Configuration nightmare?

Thanks
