The configuration of this access point is very flexible. Depending on the mode you select it may function as a regular access point or a wireless repeater or bridge. I bought this a couple of weeks ago to connect a wired ethernet network to an existing wireless hotspot - using it in bridging mode in other words - and it has performed flawlessly. In that mode it is also appropriate for connecting up a Playstation or whatever to a wireless network and is the cheapest wireless bridge I have seen by a long way.
The only slight reservation I have was with the power adapter. I bought this in the UK and yet the power supply was fitted with a Europlug. You need a "shaver socket" adapter to use this in a normal British mains socket. Those are not expensive but it is something that you really shouldn't need to buy.

Don't let the price fool you
28 Jan 2010
Installed this in a large home that had a Linksys 10/100 router acting as DHCP server and a D-Link WAP providing wireless coverage. One area was a dead spot which I solved using the TP-Link WL501G. Set the D-link to channel 6 and Tp-Link to channel 11 with same SSID. TP-Link was breeze to log into admin screen and change settings, including conversion to a different fixed IP. The D-Link was much more trouble, requiring set-up of fixed IP on different subnet in your computer's network settings before you could log-in, and it's admin screen was slower and less informative. After a couple reboots (the Linksys was stubborn in assigning IP addresses), everything works great and the signal strength of the TP-Link exceeded my expectations.
