As the OP, the issue I defined at the outset was that I had to dump a Microsoft model USB NIC; I had available, an Access Point - hence, the subject line "can an access point connect through an access point?" There was no point to having a second AP - I was merely inquiring as to whether I could use it. Actually, though a bit confusing, the thread has served to clarify a number of lingering questions for me regarding the architecture of the various devices, so, even though the answer to my original question is "probably not", the discussion has been useful. -- Claude Jones Bluemont, VA, USA
