Friend has this AP:

Has his modem/router upstairs. His BD Player uses a crappy USB dongle which gets horrible signal. Want to use this AP hopefully to pick up the wireless signal and turn that signal into a wired connection to his TV.
That should work yes?
All other wireless devices get 80%+ signal downstairs only the Samsung USB dongle sucks. Hoping to repurpose his AP he doesn't use anymore. Gonna try and set it up on Sunday/Monday, but was hoping for some input beforehand.
It can do AP, Client, Bridge, and some others. Client and Bridge sound similar though so I'm not sure which I would use.
