@Jaymoss - You have a few options:
* WDS - How does it "not work"? What have you tried? What was the result?
* Cable between the routers - You don't want cables
* Set one router to AP/Infrastructure/Host mode. Set the other router to client-mode and connect to the AP. It doesn't matter which is which, as long as they can communicate.
Most routers I know of, do not allow you to set the wireless to client-mode from the web/user-interface. If you cannot find the option, telnet into the router and configure it manually.
Make sure you don't have MAC filtering, firewall, hidden-SSID or encryption enabled on the routers while you are setting everything up. Disconnect the PC's and internet before opening everything up.
Load the latest firmware on both devices.
Reboot both routers (using the web-interface) every time before you test. Some settings only take affect on restart.
@mohammed - Netiquette says you shouldn't hijack someone else's thread. It is possible. Check the manual that came with your router. Usually, you change the mode from "PPPoE" to "Bridge" and add a PPPoE connection on Windows.
