Re: Networking - A Network Within A Network
Some of the linux based routers have alternative firmware

For the WRT54G, there is openwrt - not for the faint-hearted, as it is quite a raw Linux, but one thing it does have is WDS (wireless distribution system) - so it can operate as the far end of a wireless to ethernet link.

It could well be cheaper than the more "elite" products marketed for such a task
