Wireless to Wired?

[Nixy]

Ok, question...you can buy wireless internet now...as in you don't a traditional wired modem. Now, if someone wanted to turn that wireless signal into a wired home network (say for an Xbox that doesn't pick up wireless internet) is there a hub or router that converts a wireless signal into a wired one?

NM, fury solved this problem on msn already for me.

What was the answer?

"42" of course

The answer was that you have to shared the internet using a computer. Pick up the wireless using the computer, share the connection and output it to a router from the internet card.

I wish satellite was cheaper and faster to connect.

WiMax will be available by the end of the year I think.

I may not be able to afford it by then, if food keeps rising.

Just for the sake of including the whole problem and answers in the thread. Do you mean a modem with wifi capability or wireless networking via 3G/satellite and such?

If it is for the former, then you can always get a modem with wifi and wired ethernet ports. For the latter, fury's solution seems right.

 

[Nixy]

It's the latter.
