I'm certainly no expert in Networking but WiFi would be the best and most obvious solution to this.

Have you done this before because essentially you will be creating a Sub Network on you Primary Network what will be used to bring the internet connection in to you home.

Just curious, but why are you wanting to do dual routers?

I have my main router downstairs and I want a router in my room as I have a family who won't want to hear me on games, is there any way I can put a router in my room without a cord, I can't move the router as other people won't let me.

Some APs allow you to connect to other APs (EG one router connects to the other wirelessly) but at that point it's pretty pointless and you'd be better off running a wireless card to your downstairs router.

PowerLine adapters are a possible option as well.
