Have a look in the config of the routers. If one of them has the option to operate in 'Bridged' mode, then it will be possible to set that router as a client wireless device of the first (which will be the main wireless access point) and then connect other devices to it via ethernet.

If the router doesn't have the option to run in bridged mode then take a look at the 'Tomato' and 'DD-WRT' replacement firmwares, they are both capable of operating in this way and (if supported by your router) would be a good way to go.
