Linking Wireless Routers to expand network

I was curious if it were possible to link wireless routers together in a chain to expand the reach of a wireless network that is “chained” to a single modem (only one per household apparently).

Poking around on the forum, I have got the sense that there can be a “bridge mode” to be found in wireless routers (usually in the advanced options section)…

could anyone confirm / deny / provide a little more guidance…

Thanks,
Andrew
