Default WIFI solution to outside venue

Here is my problem.

I have a customer with and outside venue. He wants, or needs a WIFI solutions so that his POS Devices (15 of them) can get out to the Net to complete a SSL payment Transaction. Cabling is not a option. Cost is of course a concern. For his POS Devices they will be in different locations through out 50 anchors’. The POS devices will have to plug into a WIFI unit because the POS devises are not WIFI capable only Ethernet compatible. What I do have, or will have in place is a powerful outdoor Access Point that will connect to a router, then to an ADSL modem. My question is what type of equipment can I use to transmit between the AP and the POS Terminals? Note that the POS device will need to be assigned DHCP either through a router at the POS side or assigned through the router at the Mounted AP.

ADSL -> ROUTER -> AP ---???---> Router -> POS Device

I need to know what to use for ???

Hope this all make a little sence, But it difficult to explain.

So-called 'Ethernet bridges' such as the Linksys WET54G or D-Link DWL-G810 should do the trick. Many access points will also operate in client mode. The only thing to watch when setting up wireless to Ethernet clients is that you should only connect one Ethernet device per wireless client; using a switch to connect several to one wireless client will cause problems.
