D-link wireless router extender question?

VERY few routers can do wireless bridging, which is what you want to do. I am having great luck with the Zyxel router I bought from Amazon doing wireless bridging of my network and have pushed my signal outside my house to my entire yard on all sides and even as far as a block away on the side of the house the bridge faces. My access point is from Linksys. Unfortunately, the setup is very complicated. There are a few D-Link router, as well as other brands that can function as wireless bridges as well, but setup will be complicated as well. The easiest solution is to use an Apple Airport as a wireless bridge, because Apple's routers are extremely easy to configure as bridges. They're also a bit expensive.
