AirPort Bridging Overview

Michael Oh at Newbury Open Networks walks through Extreme bridging, which Apple likes to call Wireless Distribution System for reasons known best to trademark lawyers, I'm sure.

I just bought an Airport Extreme Base Station (no modem) and it is working fine with my PowerBook G3. The problem is it doesn't have enough range to reach a room downstair. What can I do? Do I have to buy a second ABS or can I buy a cheaper third party as a bridge. It this is the case, which one? I also have an imac (second generation) that I haven't tested but assume it will have the same problem of lack of range because it is on another room. Do I need two additional pieces of hardware for the bridge?

I also posted my experiences with WDS bridging - works pretty well. They're in my blog here:

One of my very, very few entries so far - you'll see it.
