I have a wireless access point in one building and want to set up a test bench for computers in another building so I need the internet in that second building. How can I connect a hub to my wireless network. I have an extra DLW2100AP and would like to connect it to a hub in the second buidling so I can run several other computers at one time.

Seeing as hubs are not "intelligent" devices like switched, I would see no problem in connecting the hubs uplink port with one of the wireless router's LAN ports.

Not sure of your goal ... but if you want to get a wireless signal to multiple computers connected to one hub/switch you could use a wireless bridge to connect that hub/switch to the wireless network. I've used that in several places in my wireless network where running cable wasnt feasible.
