Another option is to buy IPoverPower type devices (HomePlug or UPC)
and plug another, independent AP into that, obv.
(FWIW, most APs likely support WiFi bridging / WDS at a low-level -
there's only a few families of AP chipsets after all - but often the
AP software vendor decided not to provide a way to configure it).
