I have to say I didn't really follow the advice in that thread, but with that caveat...
I would 2nd rgG. If there's a way to bridge an AE to a non-Apple router to extend the network, its certainly not the intended, built-in, obvious functionality. If you use the simple AirportUtility setup wizard you can only bridge to an Airport network. Pinkoos has two Apple routers vs. your situation with the D-Link.
If you just want to extend the network and dont' care about the AE's other features (AirTunes) then any router that runs DD-WRT would work. That said, the ONLY reason I personally have the AE is to use AirTunes.
