Please log in for more thread options suggestion?! I have laptop, which picks up broadband via an Ethernet wire attached to a router - it seems the wireless broadband signal is too weak to connect wirelessly. I have just purchased an internet radio but it does not have an Ethernet port so its al but useless as again the broadband wi-fi is too weak. is there any way my laptop could send the signal out to the radio? Many thanks for your time. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

> to a router Either change that router out for one that has WiFi features or hang a WiFi access point (essentially a dumbed-down router) off one of the exsting router's ethernet ports. That way you'll have you own local wifi network. Usable for the internet radio (pretty useless gadgets if you ask me) as well as your laptop (assuming it has a wifi card in it). -Bill Kearney | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Hi,
the current set up i have is a wireless Ethernet bridge which is then connectted to my laptop via an ethernet cable. This is a bit confusing as this bridge must be picking up a strong signal?! thanks again. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

As others are suggesting, hang an AP off of the ethernet bridge. Then your laptop and radio will have a wireless connection that works locally. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
