Convert wireless signal

[hennessy1]

Hi yes I have wireless all through my house but I want to get something that can take that signal and transfer it back to a wired signal. It won't be anywhere near the router or modem. What is it called or show me a link please.

Wireless Bridge is what you want.

You can use a Linksys WRT54G with hacked firmware to do it. I'm sure there's other options as well.

Buffalo Routers are cheaper can do WDS as is, and can be flashed with the same firmware as mentioned above.

If you not comfortable with firmware upgrades and hacks, Buffalo makes this Ethernet Converter for that exact task. Good luck!

If you only need one device to connect back to your wireless router, you can get a cheap Linksys WAP54G and set it up in "client mode" (not bridged mode). This will in essence give your wired machine, wireless access. No hacked firmware needed, and should be able to connect to just about any 802.11g wireless AP (or wireless router).

That or the Buffalo. The Buffalo router may be better if you want to connect more than one machine and can find it for cheaper.
