Increasing wifi bandwidth using two router

Question

Is it possible to join two routers under single SSID to increase wifi bandwidth? Suppose, there are two routers, one is N300 Mbps(with 2 5dbi antena) and other is N150 Mbps (with 1 5dbi antena) and both support WDS. Can these two routers provide bandwidth of (300+150) = 450 Mbps working together?

You can set up two routers with the same SSID, same credentials, etc., but this won't give you additive bandwidth. When your wireless device is in the range of one of the Access Points (AP - your wireless router), then it will have the respective benefits of that AP.

No, because you can only connect to a single AP at any one time.
