    Yes you can get two AP's to talk to each other like that if they support WDS. The preformance will take a hit when you use a wireless device to comunicate with a device on the other side of the bridge. If its a home network it probably wont matter. You can also use an ethernet-wireless bridge to join them. Does the exact same thing except its not an accesspoint. To use WDS you need 2 AP's of the same brand/model that have WDS support.

    cheers for that, i kinda knew it was possible but didnt know what technology was required

    Is there any configuration involved or is it just Plug and play
