I manage a simple wired ethernet WAN on a volunteer base, and would like to add a 802.11b/g bridge to let me connect with my laptop using its wifi, rather than to plug into one of the hubs.
The bridge would connect through an ethernet cable to one of the hub/switches.
However, from what I've found, most inexpensive bridges have only one ethernet socket, and want to use it to connect to a WAN through a modem, not to a LAN. They sometimes let you use it to connect to a LAN, but only if they are set as a remote -- which only works if there is already a base station, in which case I wouldn't need this bridge.
So any suggestions to get such a bridge to work in conjunction with a purposly internet-deprived, wired LAN, without paying too much?
