That is correct - there are two D-Link DWL700AP devices - one is the existing 
Access point for my LAN; the second, I would like to use as a bridge from one 
of my computers, back to the original Access Point - far as I can tell, from 
all the info in the manual, and from the support pages on D-Links site, my 
particular model Access Point can't be put into "bridge" mode

I've found an ActionTek device that seems to fill the bill - it's designed as 
a wireless bridge to connect to wireless Access Points, according to their 
spec sheets and promos - got one ordered
