My wireless card is failing me lately.
I'm trying to get a particular piece of hardware, but I forgot what it's called.
It basically intercepts a wireless signal and converts it into an ethernet cable. This way I can use my ethernet port instead of my wireless card to connect to my lan.
Anyone remember what this is called?
