Wireless bridge?



My daughter and son in law are coming to stay until their house move
completes in a month or so.

I'd like to be able to set them up with a wireless connection, if
possible using my non-wifi DLink router with its spare Ethernet ports.
They're using Wifi enabled iBooks.

They'll bring their own Wifi router, but it seems to have issues with
connecting audio and video with iChat (he's been through this endlessly
so I'm not at all sure to be able to fix it) and I'd like to keep that
capability with my iG5 and Anne's TiBook.

Is there a piece of kit that I could plug into an Ethernet port on the
router, which will provide a Wifi link? If I wish, I can have the loan
of a Linksys WET 11 but apparently it won't function as an access point,
which scuppers that.

Any thoughts please?
