Wireless networking question - Router + Router connection

[Poor_Prince23]

Hi need advice from the experts here...
theory:
I currently have a wireless router at the ground floor of the building. However signal cannot reach the 5th floor (about 20m up). I also want the 5th floor to be wifi capable. Im planning to plug a very long ethernet cable from the main router to another wireless router at the 5th floor. is this possible? or would i need anything else? by the way, what's the difference between a wireless router and a wireless access point?

thanks in advance!

Yup just add another AP on the 5th floor make sure that your UTP cable will not exceed 100 meters...

Wireless Router - it has 3 functions Routing, Switching and Wireless Access Point

Wireless AP - Wireless ra jud siya

Main Router:

WAN - DHCP from Telco/ISP

LAN - Either DHCP or Static (make it DHCP para di libog)

connect one end of your cable either of the 4 LAN ports of your wireless router then connect the other end of your cable to the internet port of your AP
