Although, it might be cheaper to get a ADSL modem/router/wifi thing.
Things like DHCP and routing can be a bit tricky.
You might like to consider connecting the two ends of the house with home plugs, so using short bits of ethernet cable for everything.
That way, one router does everything.

Something like these; http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Netgear+Universal+W...
(that isn't a recommendation, just so you know what I mean)
The line wont work correctly with multiple routers, the only thing with wireless extenders or home plugs is that if they do cause issues or turn faulty, they'd need to be removed to make sure the line and broadband is ok and you would have to refer to the documentation or the manufacturer if they are at fault. Generally they shouldn't involve much setting up or setting adjustment in any case.

Quote from: Chris Home Plugs are great, but in my opinion a little expensive.
Oh yeah?

I bought a pair a while ago and when I recently replaced the TV with a Vierra enabled internet TV bought a third. Had absolutely no issues with them whatsoever (and that includes one which is on the end of a long extension lead).
