Does the existing wap/router have multiple ethernet jacks? (NOT the wan, but
there are sometimes 4 regulars and 1 wan)
if so, just plug into one of the regular ethernet ports, the internet stuff
will pass thru and you will essentially have two wireless networks, (two
ssid's one for her wap/router, and one for you)
works for regular wap's, (my sister has her own wireless network and so do
I).. I use it with my tivo's for remote viewing, should work for the
slingbox too, and they can both browse the internet off the one internet
connection.

Only tricky part was the starting ip address, For the second one had to
cable it direct (use port 1), and change the starting ip address so it
didn't conflict with the other units strating address (IE i made the second
unit's starting address 192.168.1.200, guessing that the other one was the
default of 192.168.1.1, and I didn't want them to conflict or overwrite each
other)
