D-Link DGL-3420 fully functional bridge?

I've tried searching this group and google before posting my question
here. If this question has already been answered, my apologies and
please direct me to the source. Thx.

I had to give up on my 11g wireless network with too much competition
for available frequencies from neighbouring WLANs and telephones.
Yesterday I counted 10 different signals on my site survey and that
was only downstairs; upstairs I pick up 3 more.

I broke down and bought 11a gear from D-Link and thus far, all is okay
with no competition. However, I could only find the DI-784 11a/g
router and DWL-AG132 USB adapters locally. I need to order an 11a
bridge to connect my network upstairs with my network downstairs.
There are multiple bridges for 11b/g but for 11a the selection is
quite sparse. As for D-Link I was looking at the DGL-3420, which they
term as a gaming adapter. Is this device a fully functional bridge or
will it only accomodate a single end device? Anybody know how it will
handle multiple MAC addresses?

What options do I have? There is also the D-Link DWL-7100AP but my
experience these kinds of devices is that they will only bridge with
each other and not with a router like a DI-784 say. I tried to find
this out from the D-Link web page and docs but it does not
specifically say one way or the other.

TIA.
