Question : Extend wireless range

Hi,

I need to extend wireless range for a WRT160N device. The device itself is connected to a separate DSL line that will provide internet guest access. My current corp network cannot be touched. The device itself is sitting in the network room and it does not have a port for an antenna so thats not an option.

I am thinking i can install a second WRT16N half way through to the dead spot i want connectivity available. Is there a way to configure the second device to hook up to the wireless network and just push out more range? Is that possible?
