I'm not sure I'm using the correct terminology; I may be looking for
"node" instead of "bridge".

What I'd like to do is use an inexpensive self-contained wireless device
to allow an ethernet-equipped time and attendance terminal to access (and
be accessed by) our office network. Even though the distance is only 40',
hard-wire is impossible (economically and cosmetically).

We presently have a wireless access point by which several office
computers use the LAN. I'd like the terminal to access the LAN by the AP
we already have, rather than having to create a bridge connection with
two new wireless devices.

I've configured ONE AP in the last three years (and used a wizard), so
I'm not familiar with the features of cheap WallyWorld APs like LinkSys,
etc.

Suggestions?

Thanks,
LLoyd
