Hey,

I have just had Virgin media 100meg Broadband installed.
It's nice a quick via wired connections, but I get rubbish wireless signal almost everywhere in the house.

The Super Hub is in an inside room, inside a cupboard.

So, I would like to get a Wireless Bridge (I think) that I can add to the the network via a wired connection.

The house has wired sockets throughout, so I can plug it in, in a location that I find is the best.

With the above in mind, can someone "spec me" the right device!

I am thinking http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=NW-006-TP&groupid=46&catid=1837&subcat=

Actually, I think http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=NW-030-TP&groupid=46&catid=1837&subcat= will be better (as it's 300mb/s same as superhub)
Thanks

As you linked, you're after a Wireless Access Point.

You'll connect this into your wired network and it'll extend that LAN over wireless. (It'll use your current gateway / DHCP etc).

It's nothing to do with routing; but you can turn a home switch / router into an Access Point.

Yes, that precisely what I am looking to do.
I want to keep the existing router, and simply "extend" it from the LAN socket I plug into.

I will go for the faster of the ones I listed.

@imb4tman - Thanks for the reply, but seeing as my Virgin media is a 100mb connection, I thinking getting 20mb stable will not be sufficient.
