Like all wireless and even hard drives, determining which is "best" is a futile exercise. No matter what I or anyone else recommends, someone, somewhere will find it intolerable.
So with that caveat in mind, the best "value" available at the moment (imo) is the ZyXEL WAP3205.

I've been waiting for Newegg to drop the shipping charge over the past few days (they often do), but so far no luck.
It can function as a WAP (wireless access point), WDS wireless bridge, wireless client bridge, or wireless repeater bridge. Supports wireless N, comes w/ two LAN ports (presumable extendable w/ a switch), even supports multiple SSIDs for separate secured and guest access. A lot of features packed into one device. You can easily pay $70 or more for a simple Linksys wireless client bridge.
Normally I prefer dd-wrt compatible routers for all my wireless bridging needs, but many ppl don’t like the idea of dealing w/ third party firmware (but it’s a terrific solution). One of my favorite dd-wrt compatible routers is the ASUS WL-520GU.

But it’s only wireless G compared the ZyXEL (N). And the ZyXEL is only another $7-8 after shipping. In fact, I’ve seen the ZyXEL selling for as little as $31 shipped (after rebate), well below the WL-520GU. There’s just no better “value” in wireless bridging right now than the ZyXEL if you confine yourself to NON dd-wrt compatible routers. It’s just a matter of whether you wait in hopes the ZyXEL drops even a little more.
