Connecting an Access Point to a Wireless Router (wirelessly)

Hey guys,

Just want to see if this is possible.  

Right now, we have a Linksys wireless router connect to DSL.  It works great, but only in the living room upstairs.  I want to get the signal into the back bedrooms.  Can I put a Linksys Wireless Access point upstairs (some how connecting that wirelessly) to the router downstairs so it can boost my signal upstairs?  If this is possible, what are the settings?  (adhoc, infrastructure, etc.)   PS, I can not run a physical cable from the access point to the router.  I want to have one of the antenas talk to the router and the others feed the laptops upstairs.

Thanks in advance!
