"What you are looking for is a Wireless Bridge. There used to be loads of them, but I haven't seen any in ages.

Without knowing your location, I cannot really recommend any brands/products, however hopefully this pushes you in the right direction!

You may also want to take a look at HomePlug based devices which allow you to pass ethernet over your power lines.... Can be a lot more reliable than wireless."

In addition, many wireless routers can be set up to run as a bridge nodes. I have a couple of old routers from LinkSys and DLink which I use as wireless bridge nodes. Check the router's documentation to see if it supports operating as a bridge node.
