If you have a wired connection then it is relatively easy to add another wifi router to create a new access point. You need to set a fixed IP for the second router on the same subnet as the Superhub but not in the DHCP range. You will also need to turn off DHCP on the secondary router. It is quite OK to use the same SSID and password as the Superhub so that your devices will connect to whichever is the stronger signal. Also remeber only to connect the secondary router on the LAN sockets (rather than the WAN socket present if the device isn't also a modem).

If on the other hand you were thinking of using the secondary router as a wireless relay then it it would need to be an existing option in the configuration screen.
