Amazon locally has this extender which looks like it would do the trick but its two wired ports are 1 x LAN and 1 x WAN....can i use them both for local dumb devices?
It is often the case that the WAN port gets configured as a LAN port in Wireless bridge mode (since the "WAN" is now over wireless). Though I could not find a user guide for this device, reviewer MS on the Amazon page seems to indicate that this is in fact what is happening and he has two wired devices successfully connected.
