As far as getting things like distance to devices about the best you'd be able to do is get a signal strength measurement. You wouldn't be able to use both of them in conjunction to triangulate or get heading of a signal though due to the way the wireless standard is written. For something like that, you'd need special hardware.
May be the word I used confused you. So the access points could be the correct word.
As I explain I want to make two access points connected to my laptop. I did this with two USB adapters, so I can two USB points to connect to. Through a API I can retrieve details such as single strength and related. However I cannot connect to internet in that case, so I want to use two access points which are connect to the internet. Hope it's clear to you what I want to do.
