If you configure the first router to use the second one as node, that is, to get the internet connection from there [doesn't work for cable routers], theoretically, yes, you can.

The short answer is: NO
A wireless router is an access point. An access point is where your wireless devices connect to, to access the Internet or network resources.
you can BRIDGE wireless routers, you would need a wireless bridge. This would connect your wireless router (router #1) across to another wireless router (router #2) and allow you to access the Internet FROM router #2.

I assume you want to do this wirelessly. What you are looking for is called bridge mode. I'm not sure if home routers will do this, but there are many business-class access points that do it. Be aware that it cuts your wireless bandwidth in half.

Yes. You can bridge Dlink DWL-2100AP or DI-624 units together this way. Very simple. I've done it for several customers. Golf courses like this setup. Linksys units will bridge too, but I personally like the Dlink. (In fact I'm linking to the internet right now through a bridge of two of these units)
