John's right in that you can't use it as a router, however if you were trying to configure an old Superhub as an access point, then indeed it is possible.
These are the steps I would take.

These are the steps I would take.
- Connect the device you are setting as an access point directly to a PC's LAN - at this point the 2 should not be connected to the main network.
- Log into the the device and go to firewall and switch that off.
- Switch off UPnP in the advanced settings.
- Go to DHCP settings and set the LAN IP to 192.168.0.254 and turn off DHCP and hit apply.
- Connect the newly configured SH Access point to the LAN of the main Superhub.
- With the PC still connected to the LAN of the access point open up a cmd window and type ipconfig /release followed by ipconfig /renew. At this point the PC should pick up an IP from the main Superhub if all has been configured correctly.
- Assuming you can now connect to the net you could then log onto the access point by going to the IP 192.168.0.254 and configure the wireless.
