Can two wireless router/hubs be "piggy backed" via their wireless connection? Was hoping to have one on both floors of the building.

As in connect two wireless Access points together to create a virtual "cable": yes


The problem is that product your has a built in access point. These products sometimes omit certain features for the sake of price reduction. THis means that your router/AP might not have this function. Even my cheap true access point doesn;t support this feature.

Look up: wireless bridging.

If you want to use two wireless network cards instead(almost always possible) , look up : ad-hoc


Good luck

Two Wireless Router Nah!.

Wireless Routers (beside the Buffallo line) are fixed on Gateway Mode and can not talk one to the other.
