Hi there,
This should be an easy question because I read an article on it but for the life of me I cannot find it. I have a wireless network at my place, both B and G broadcasting. I also have a ps3, and xbox 360. I am looking for a piece of networking equipment which will take a wireless signal and convert it into a wired signal. The one I though I read had atleast two ports for wired connection. I know it is not the $100 linksys game piece because it has only one port. I remember this piece of equipment being less than $100 I thought around the $50 price range. Can you guys help me out with what it is and where I can get it? Thanks a lot.

See if you can't get a simple soho router to do just that. Some models can be setup to do what you need.


I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you goober.

It would appear to me you are asking about a wireless bridge. A regular wireless router can not communicate wirelessly with another wireless router unless that wireless router supports bridging functions. Most soho routers do not have that function.

Google wireless bridge

Imagine the power if you knew how to internet search
