I have 3 computers in my room that i would like to connect to my wireless network. I could get several pci cards and install them. But is there a way i could bridge the wireless network to my ethernet connection? I found some bridges but they only have one port on the back and i need 3. Can i have some suggestions?
If you want to bridge from wired to wireless: best get a wireless router if you don't already have one, so you get WEP/WPA protection. If you want to bridge from wireless to wired: use the bridge built right into windows xp (requires a wired and wireless card in a single computer and for that computer to be on for others to acess network)
yah i need to bridge from wireless to wired but is there like a boxorsomthing i could get? Having multipul computers on at once would be a hassal for me. Any suggestions?
perhaps something like this and then just hook it into a cheap switch In theory it should work a charm.
I used a dwl-900ap+ in a bridge with my wireless router (used to be a di-614+ now a di624) for almost 2 years. Worked real nice until the ap died for no apparent reason yesterday The secret is to put the ap in something called client mode and enter the lan mac address of your wireless router. Just plug in a switch and you have an instant wireless bridge! Someone else on #bit-tech has done this, I think it was jake^the^cake, except he used a dwl-2100ap instead. I guess dlink now makes stand alone products that you just plug in and they do it, but that just isn't any fun now is it?
so i can use a wiresless access point and connect a switch to it? That sounds great. Would there be any configing besides the standard stuff?
