Woah! You edited your question completely on me!
Here's my original answer:

-------Are you looking to connect the two routers wirelessly or through a network cable? Only some routers support this "bridging" function. Or you can buy a "range extender". Basically the router is working as a "dumb unit". That means that it doesn't do any network processing, only repeats what the original router has done.

This function isn't very common in router, so chance are, if you have two routers, you've got about a 20% chance of having one that has this functionality. If by chance you do have one that supports bridging, they can usually repeat the signal wirelessly or connect to an Ethernet connection.

Your best bet, honestly, is to spend $20-$30 on a wireless NIC.-----

New answer: yes, if you have a legacy PCI port, that should work fine... But that card IS NOT wireless.

Haha sorry about that, i do have another pci-e port underneath my graphics card can you recommend me any network cards from msy?

If you want a PCI connection try this one: http://msy.com.au/product.jsp?productId=8005

If you want PCIe, try this one: http://msy.com.au/product.jsp?productId=8597

Either of these should do you right, no speed difference.

If it's a full x16 PCIe slot, read about your motherboard to make sure it won't affect the lanes going to your graphics card. Sometimes using the other PCIe slot will drop the first one to x8

Muffin Button :

Yes. Should just plug in and install the driver automatically or from a disk. Also, I didn't see much documentation (in English) on your board, but it looks like you won't have a problem at all. Best of luck!
