Does it work if they have a general Internet connection, and then you try the private connection? Depending on the AP you're using, and the network topology, you may also be able to run the access point as a bridge. (Thus, it'll just be a fancy media converter, and wireless clients should be functionally identical to wired clients.) You can't do this with most cheap APs (Linksys, DLink, anything else you'll find at Best Buy), but slightly higher-end radio gear (StarOS, old Lucent/Karlnet gear, maybe Mikrotik) won't even blink at the request. The biggest downside to this is that it's another piece of hardware you have to buy (this could be done for around $300 US) and another piece of software you have to learn how to configure.
