Wireless Router Relay?

Is it possible to create a relay between two wireless routers. I'm asking because my current wireless router is quite far from my PC and the signal is not good.

This is my setup....

Connected to the phone line (the only one in the house) I have a Wanadoo Live Box (this runs my VOIP aswell, so must stay where it is.)

Can I then connect a D-Link DSL-G604T Wirless router to the back of my PC via a network cable or PCI wireless card and 'piggy back' my internet connection and thus boost the signal to my PC?

I think that the cause of my low signal is the PCI wireless card at the back of my PC which is at the back of a computer desk and fairly close to the wall. I reached this conclusion after my laptop (which is wireless enabled) has a full strength signal in the same room.
