Ethernet port wireless adapters
 

Bit of a stretch, but I'm hoping something exists. :)

Is there a wireless adapter that isn't USB and connects up to the network port of, say, a non-wireless router?

Re: Ethernet port wireless adapters
 

yeh they exist. Ive seen plenty of them.
What they are called though... now thats another matter.

Re: Ethernet port wireless adapters
 

They generally are designed to work the other way around. Connect a non-wireless PC to a wireless router

They are these http://www.google.co.uk/products?hl=...pter&scoring=r

What you are after is called a wireless repeater.

Wireless Bridge Actually, but getting hold of one is a different matter, I've not seen one to buy in a long time

Re: Ethernet port wireless adapters
 

This one any good ? Dabs.com

Re: Ethernet port wireless adapters
 

I saw that one but it's expensive and out of stock :(

Re: Ethernet port wireless adapters
 

It probably cheaper most of the time just to get a new router

Re: Ethernet port wireless adapters
 

I use an Edimax EW-7206APG as a wireless bridge for my X360 and it works a treat.
Could easily be used as an access point as well.

I have a solution that I think works but I don't have access to the equipment at the moment so I can't check for sure.

1) Buy a Sky (Netgear) DG934G ADSL modem/router on ebay for about £5
2) Reprogram it back to a Netgear DG834G version 3 using these instructions
3) Switch off its DHCP server, fix it's own IP address and set up the wireless parameters
4) Leave the 'line' port disconnected
5) Attach up to 4 devices to the switch ports

Re: Ethernet port wireless adapters
 

Wouldn't that kind of defeat the object of wireless though. The OP is asking for a wireless bridge.

Re: Ethernet port wireless adapters
 

No, because it's being used as a wireless bridge and not a router.

Re: Ethernet port wireless adapters
 

Right, ok, I understand now.

Re: Ethernet port wireless adapters
 

I think what I'm after is an access point. I already have the router, it just doesn't have wireless connectivity.

Re: Ethernet port wireless adapters
 

It might well be cheaper or more effective to buy a replacement router, one with wireless access. Though I don't know how much access points are.
