We recently changed to a DSL service at home for our internet.  When my
husband was buying the equipment, he accidentally purchased a wireless
broadcaster for use with a hard-wired router instead of the wireless router
that he intended to get.  So he ordered the other equipment, expecting to
send this back.  Unfortunately, he had already cut out the UPC code to send
off for a rebate, so the brand-new thing cannot be returned!  The equipment
cost $219.99 with a $50 rebate.  We'll sell it for $150.  Below is the
description and a web page for more info.

D-Link Wireless LAN Access Point 11Mbps
The D-Link DWL-1000AP is an IEEE 802.11b compliant 11Mbps wireless LAN
access point. The DWL-1000AP operates in 2.4 GHz Direct Sequence Spread
Spectrum (DSSS) for wireless networks in the home or office environment
with transparent bridging and roaming capabilities. The DWL-1000AP can be
managed remotely via the access point manager software. It also supports
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), MAC address control and user authentication
to ensure a secure network connection.
In bridge mode, the DWL-1000AP can be directly connected to a Broadband
Residential Gateway or a DSL/Cable modem for high-speed wireless Internet
access. On a dynamic network connection, the DWL-1000AP will automatically
obtain an IP address and forward additional IP's to multiple 802.11b
wireless clients for a seamless Ethernet LAN connection. The DWL-1000AP
fully supports roaming capabilities for each wireless client up to 328 feet
for indoor use and up to 984 feet for outdoor use. The DWL-1000AP can
search for additional access points using the DWL-1000AP access point
manager software.
The D-Link DWL-1000AP will automatically identify the IP of the host PC as
well as the subnet when connected on to an Ethernet LAN in the home or
office environment. In addition, with the easy to use access point manager
software, the IP address of the DWL-1000AP can also be manually assigned.
The access point manager software can be installed in Windows 98, 98SE, ME,
2000 and NT 4.0.
