Wireless Access Point as a Repeater

jank

OK i need to extend my Wireless network in the house. I need a Wireless AP to act as a repeater but also need this AP to have a Ethernet cable link so I can connect up my PC to the network. It has to be done this way(long story!)

The main modem/router I have is a Netgear D384G.

So what do you guys recommended? Something like this?

How do I know will these act as repeaters??

Thanks in advance. I just want to be cautious before I buy anything.

Have been looking at AP's that support repeating but i dont know of they'll function as a brdge at the same time.

But id like to hear of other peoples experiences with this problem and what equipment they used to counter act it.

Senao 3054AP3 is an access point that can act as a repeater at the same time. It has an Atheros chipset, so would only be able to repeat other atheros chipsets. They are simple to set up.

Most manufactuers use chipsets from different vendors in their products, so be careful. Just make sure you've got compatable chipsets when repeating.
