Making to Wireless routers connect?

Hi. Im not a newbie to networks, BUT a COMPLETELY newbie to WIRELESS
networks... So here is my question:

The setup i Have now - Adsl connection -> Trendnet TEW-231BRP (wireless
router) -> pc with DLink dwl-122.

This works fine.... BUT

Because of no driver-support for winXP64(wich i just installed) for the
dlink, i would like to just use my second WLAN router (same as the
other) to connect to my standard NIC on the computer .... I cant get
this to work - shouldn't that be possible? And if so... How?

the setup i would like, was this:

dsl -> TEW-231BRP -> TEW-231BRP -> NIC in pc

Please forgive me my ignorance, but I cant see any reason, that this
should not be an option?


Thanks in advance.

Not very likely as most routers can not be set for client mode.
