I current have an SMC wireless router (SMCWBR14T) which seems to be
able to "join" any existing wireless network and provides 4 base Rj-45
Ethernet ports.
Here is the "feature" description:
The Wireless Distribution System (WDS) provides a means to extend the
range of a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). WDS allows a wireless
router to establish a direct link to other wireless base stations and
to allows stations to roam freely within the area covered by the WDS.
