The gaming adapters (like my D-Link DWL-G820) don't require any
configuration on the access point side (WDS).  Of course it only has one
ethernet port and can't be used as an access point.

If simplicity is what your goal is, a gaming adapter might be best for you.
If you don't mind mucking around with WDS, a second wireless router
configured as a bridge may be more your speed.  It's a trade off.

In my case, my access point doesn't support WDS and I wanted something that
"would just work."
