Default Connect routers together?

Hello i was wondering if it was possible to connect two routers together, sort of creating a bridge.

Crude MSPaint image


The three boxes on the right are the devices i want to connect.
The reason i want to do this is because connecting my devices wirelessly gives a poor signal making it hard, if not impossible to stream videos, photos etc between devices.

Just run the phone line directly to router two and get rid of one.

I can't :(
The rents won't allow it.
It's also a rented house so letting loose on the wall with wrecking balls, dynamite etc is out of the question, thanks for the response though, probably quickest i've seen!

OK so you need one wireless router and router two needs to be a wireless access point with hub.
