I do not know what is that you call WAP? WAP11 is an Access Point sold by Linksys.

If you do have two Linksys WAP11, the answer is Yes, they can talk one to the other.

However, "Speaking Wirelessly" there is an Access Point or Wireless Cable/DSL Router.

Assuming that you meant Wireless Cable/DSL Router the answer is probably No.

Almost all Wireless Cable/DSL Routers are fix on Gateway Mode and thus can not connect one to the other.

If you have an AP or Cable/DSL Router that can be configured as Client you can use it as a Wireless Bridge.

If you would like to find the option available to you read this:
