Is it possible to use my older router as a range extender in another room without a wired connection?

Technically yes, but it really depends on what your router's firmware can do.

 

Nice tutorial here:

yes you can.

people like to put their routers in the garage or at the same hieght as furniture.

but best wifi setup is to put your router on the ceiling in the center of your house.

You would have to live in a palace to require more than one well placed wifi router

i live in a 1800sqft 2 story house which is far from a palace and in order for me to have perfect coverage through out my house i need 3 access points, one upstairs, one downstairs and one near the back so my backyard gets coverage

 

OP
if your routers firmware supports wireless repeating than follow the user manual to setup the wireless repeating feature, i know on one of my netgear routers it needed the MAC address of the access point you are trying to repeat
if your router doesnt support wireless repeating than see if it supports a 3rd party firmware like DDWRT or Open WRT cause those firmwares will give your router that feature
