linking 2 MN500s

I have a MN500 WAP/router set up in my basement where my
modem/inet connection comes in, but wireless coverage is
sketchy on the 2nd floor. I have wiring to 2nd floor, can
I wire a 2nd MN500 to the first one to improve wireless
coverage upstairs. Any potential pitfalls of doing this?
I would have a desktop hard wired into the basement WAP,
and 2 desktops hardwired into the upstairs router. Would
all 3 desktops still be able to communicate easily? Any
NAT issues?
Thanks in advance for any help.

There are no additional issues to doing this (anymoreso compared to having
just one access point serve everything)

Just make sure your SSID and WEP keys are the same for both MN500's, but
make sure the channels are at least five apart (so that the frequencies
don't overlap).

NAT will take care of itself, as your secondary MN500 will be in bridge mode
and not doing any NAT functions.
