D-Link makes (or used to make) a 108G Access Point that you could convert to a bridge using WDS. Not sure if they still make them, but when I got my two they were about $50.</blockquote></span><div><br><font face="verdana,arial,helvetica" size="-1">
The gaming adapters (like my </font><font face="verdana,arial,helvetica" size="-1">D-Link DWL-G820)</font><font face="verdana,arial,helvetica" size="-1"> don't require any configuration on the access point side (WDS). Of course it only has one ethernet port and can't be used as an access point.
<br><br>If simplicity is what your goal is, a gaming adapter might be best for you. If you don't mind mucking around with WDS, a second wireless router configured as a bridge may be more your speed. It's a trade off.

</a><br><br>That's what I'm doing at home now. One router downstairs (standard OEM firmware on WRT54GS) connecting to my WRT54G running dd-wrt as a. Technically, it's not WDS because that uses MAC addies to help establish the connection. It works, it's simple and rock solid.
