I use a buffalo WHR-HP-G54 wireless access point. Works very well with
WPA to my laptop?


You can turn them into bridge mode if required, so that they become a
wireless client.

I'm not sure whether the product you mentioned is the matching bridge.

It is worth pointing out that the Buffalo access point was a bit iffy
with its original firmware. Easily upgraded and much better. May
explain the mixed reviews.

When you say `free`, do you mean you are using somebody elses connection
without their permission?
