My home is 2 stories and I have my Airport extreme on the first floor connected to my ISP. I am curious if I purchase a second Airport Extreme can I plug it in upstairs and give out a stronger signal without connecting the two extreme's via ethernet? Can it just tap off the wi-fi and share it for more coverage?
Got a tip for us?

Yes. It's called WDS mode. Unfortunately, it cuts the speed in half as the remote unit has to rebroadcast the signal to the main one.
