A bridged wireless access point (aka dumb AP) works within an existing ethernet network to add WiFi capability where it does not exist or to extend the network to WiFi capable computers and devices in areas where the WiFi signal is weak or otherwise does not meet expectations. One big advantage of this setup is that it can cost far less than many of the Mesh kits that are available. Another advantage this setup has is that the Raspberry Pi is a general purpose computer so it can be used for additional tasks while performing as a bridged wireless access point.

Note: The connection from the router to the RasPi is best served by a CAT 5e or greater ethernet cable but alternatives exist. One alternative is to use your existing electrical wiring by using Powerline AV2 adapters. These adapters are also called Homeplug AV2 adapters and come in a variety of speeds and prices. I have had success with Powerline AV2 adapters but success depends on the quality and setup of the electrical wiring to be used. Another option is Ethernet Over Coax (MoCa). Anyone considering Powerline AV2 or Ethernet Over Coax (MoCa) should research the products and be prepared to return the products if expectations are not met.
