    does it mean that i can use a second modem as a relay point to increase the signal through out my house?

    Think of 'bridged mode' as well.... A bridge.

    On one side of the bridge, you have your routers and pc's, on the other side of the bridge is the internet.

    When you set your modem into bridge modem the modem then just becomes a modem.

    All the login and authentication stuff is typically handled by the routers now, and all info is passed back and forward via the bridge.

    so do the bridge and the outer connect to each other wirelessly? like does it work as a repeater for the signal connecting one half of my house to the other like a bridge and two islands?

    By turning a modem into a bridge, you stop it routing and let a better router you attach to it do the routing (and PPPoE dialling and everything else required like DHCP). It just basically bridges and forwards everything to the device you connect to it.
