You want to use the WLAN-Scanning-Function on your Wifi-Router or do you want to do it locally on your computer with a Wifi-Dongle?

Well, I am not that much good with technical terms but I can explain my problem statement:
Actually I have a desktop which is connected to one unmanaged switch which is further connected to 2 wifi-routers and I want to make both routers work as a client which receives the signal of another router like if I switch on my mobile hotspot I 'll be able to scan it through the wifi routers which are connected with Desktop via unmanaged Switch.
Note: I have given local IPS to both Wifi Routers.
Hope this will be useful
