I wonder if anyone can help ? I'm looking for a "magic box" which will allow me to connect to a wireless network while pretending to my laptop that it is seeing a pure Ethernet LAN. Here's why:
I've recently become an employee again, and the company has given me a laptop which connects to the corporate VPN over my home broadband connection. However, for security reasons, it has had its wireless card disabled so I have to I plug it direct into my router using an Ethernet drop cable.
Now, this is not very convenient as the router is in my front room but my home office is in an outbuilding about 10m from the house...
So, the "magic box" would be an 802.11g device I could site in the home office (the signal strength is acceptable in there) with an Ethernet port I could plug the laptop into. As far as the laptop was concerned, it would be plugged into the router direct.
Does such a magic box exist ? Can anyone recommend one ?
Thanks in advance,
Nick
