Wireless router as access point

[BigKahuna]

I have a d-link wireless router as the main router. i have netgear wirless router that i want to use as an access point. will this work and how would i go about doing this?

If you can disable the routing functionality on the netgear router to make it a plain old switch (not sure that this can be done) and then can connect the netgear 'switch' to the d-link router via a cable, it might work for you. But, I am highly doubtful...

do i have to connect the routers together with a cable? the netgear that i want to use as the access point cannot pick up the other routers signals

Yes, you will need to cable them together, but first note my original caveat: you must turn the Netgear device into a plain switch by disabling its routing functionality. If you are unable to do this, there is no sense in cabling them together.
