Wireless to ethernet port?

metachi · 15 Apr 2009 at 00:07

ok the wireless router is in my room and my brother is using the wireless from my router on his computer using a wireless card.

Are there such device allow to transfer wireless signal to ethernet port, as he is planning to get a xbox 360 and maybe a ps3 later. so maybe his pc, xbox 360 and ps3 connect to same internet device over the air?

Yes, I believe they are called Wireless Ethernet Bridges, such as the Netgear WGE101 Wireless Ethernet Bridge.

I used to use a Netgear device that does exactly as you describe when I was on Wireless Broadband (massive antenna on roof, fed down to Netgear box and then into my ethernet port.

They do the job well and are really quite cheap.

Well, the PS3 has wireless built in so that wouldn't be a problem and likewise it would be much easier and cheaper (probably) just to buy the wireless adaptor for the 360.
