NetGear gets my vote for one of the neatest items I have seen for sometime. It is a very simple way to add a wireless access point to an existing wired or wireless router. Need to extend your wireless network? Just plug the bridge unit into a wall A/C outlet near your router, run a network cable from it to an open port on the router, plug the access point unit into an A/C outlet where you need wireless access and you are on the Internet at high speed. No setup, no configuration - just plug the two small units into A/C outlets and you are connected. I was very skeptical but they worked great. Highly recommended.
The 54 Mbps Wall-Plugged Wireless Range Extender Kit Model WGXB102 comes in a box with both units. Confusing documentation which you don't need to read. Prices range from $115 to $130. $150 is the MSRP.

And if you need to have an extended router, check out this NetGear product. Put a 4 port router in a remote room and connect with your base router via A/C wiring. 85 Mbps Wall-Plugged Ethernet Switch Model XE104

One of my clients connected two Netgear wall plug XE102 ethernet bridge units to allow the remote computer to be connected via cable instead of wireless.
