wireless network - adding an ethernet port?
in [UK Mac]

From: David Kennedy on 3 Jan 2010 12:33 Is it possible to get a wireless receiver which will simply rout the wireless signal from my broadband into a standard Ethernet port which can then be used as normal for wired connection? What I want to do is run a non wireless device on the second floor. Is there a wireless adaptor which also has a wired port? -- David Kennedy http://www.anindianinexile.com

I have a spare wireless router sitting doing nothing... -- David Kennedy http://www.anindianinexile.com

Belkin, Edimax, 3Com. Buffalo did make them but now you use their router and disable the routing component. Probably others - Netgear? -- Graham J

The BT manual doesn't seem to cover the possibility. -- David Kennedy http://www.anindianinexile.com
