Subject: Is there such a device?
Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2009 17:51:40 -0700

I have a home network which is a mixture of wired and wireless. I have  
one computer which is not wireless capable, ie, needs an ethernet  
cable connection, which I want to move to a part of my house which is  
within range of my wireless router. I know I could use a wireless  
bridge to make that connection. However, further away from that  
location I get bad or no wireless connection to my WAP using other  
devices (laptop, iPhone).

Is there a device which will simultaneously act as a wireless bridge  
(wired connection) and wireless extender/expander? Basically, a WAP  
with ethernet cable connections which connects wirelessly to the main  
WAP and accepts wireless connections to pass on as well?

I hope that is clear, but maybe not. Anyway, any suggestions are  
greatly appreciated.
