If you were connecting to two different routers and had a balancer then maybe. Its not worth the effort. If you got a low wifi signal then get a repeater :D

I am plagued by the slow downloading speed of my wireless connection to the internet. Since it is not an option to hardwire my pc, I decided to see if I can benefit by purchasing a new adapter. I am using www.speedtest.net to test the download speed on my pc using asus wireless adapters. When I use just one N13 (older Asus) I get around 2-7 mbps. When I use the newer N53 (new Asus) I get around 4-7 mbps. When I use them both, I get 6-13 mbps. I could be wrong, only relying on speedtest.net results, but it is helping. Now, I was told at the computer store that I cannot use two wireless adapters. But I am not seeing any troubles so far. It is just so much faster now.
