Does anyone know if such a thing as a device that you can plug into an Ethernet port that will provide a wireless relay exists?
if so, where can I get one?
I believe there are USB ones? Not sure though.
you misunderstand, I am looking for an ethernet rj45 -> wireless network converting thingummybob, not a USB network card (of which I have one).
*EDIT*
I picture it as being a little one port wireless router that essentially has a DMZ enabled by default.
A wireless adapter that plugs into a RJ45 socket?
Not sure such a thing exists but I'll keep an eye out...
[edit] You after something like
this?
Was about to post what Gfk edited in (which I do own btw, except that it's a pain in the arse to setup), but was unsure if you wanted something that created a wireless network for devices to connect (like those USB sticks that act as a wireless access point), or something that could receive wireless signals from an ethernet port.
That looks pretty close to what I was picturing, need to read more about it.
thanks :)
Yes, they're called game bridge adaptors, I own one I use for my old xbox.
Basically, it plugs into any ethernet socket on any device, and creates a bridge onto your wi-fi network, so the device thinks it's on a wired network when it's not.

Man I amaze myself sometimes.....
Well im not 100 percent sure if this is what your asking, but you can get a thing that plugs into the wall. It recieves the connection, and bounces it, giving you a better connection.
Once again, im not sure if thats what your looking for, but i just thought i would try to help.
