Using a spare router to increase signal range

Hi,
Ive seen one or two topics similar to this but none seem to give an answer or become a little over complicated so that I can't follow the instructions.

I have the Virgin Media superhub ( along with all the problems its brought with it) but prior to that I had a Linksys WRT 160N wireless N router.

I kept the Linksys router and have thought, rather than keep it in a cupboard gathering dust or give it away, why don't I see if its possile to use it to increase the range of my Virgin Superhub so I can take my laptop into the garden without losing signal.

I would prefer to do this wirelessly as I don't fancy Cat5 cales trailing across the floor but firstly I would like to know if this is possible, what the pro's and cons are and how to do it.

I've been a big fan of this site for a long time and have always been impressed by the level of technical knowledge of its users so I look forward to your replies
