Non- computer wireless

You need to be more specific about which "computer" cables, the sort of data, etc.

Networking - look for a wireless client bridge and a wireless router (two units). The client bridge acts like a reciever but plugs back into an ethernet cable.

AV - depends. If you store your AV on computer, then a media server may meet your needs (plugged into the client bridge mentioned above, it can serve out any AV thats on your network). If you want to xmit DTV or analogue TV signal from say a set top box then you may find a video-sender serves your purposes. Be warned they clash with wireless networking.

Other "computer" connections - eg mouse, keyboard - this would be specialist equipment and probably pricey. Look at vendors of conference services and display equipment used in corporate lobbys or airports, they can probably assist. I'd guess solutions exist to take the kbd+mouse, convert to a network protocol, xfer via ethernet or wireless ,and then convert back.

Check at radio Shack (do they have em in the UK?), they make a wireless av sender (I use it to send video to a projector for demos) Has the yellow white and red connectors at each end.... see details and a picture at

You can get the same thing from Maplin. Be warned they operate at

Something tells me you didn't bother looking at the actual product with the link.... it's RF-Link (AVS-5811) 5.8GHz Wireless A/V Sender System note the 5.8 GHZ in the name.....

(*blush*) correct.... I also should have added an "in many cases".

In which case it'll mess with your 802.11a network... :-)

BTW not sure you can buy this kit in the UK. The 5.8GHz region is quite crowded - Bands A, B and part of C are reserved for military purposes, some cordless phones use the waveband and increasingly WiMAX is using it. .

Yeah, luckily I have a real old ones (900 Mhz, but of course they don't sell em anymore), also have 900 Mhz for wireless audio, and wireless keyboard/mouse... Too bad, since i do presentations and trainining (usually at bigger places that can adfford new stuff, and of course paying me), it's handy to have older stuff (that usually works fine, but doesn't conflict with the newer stuff most corp's have... Only problem I ever had was with Microwave ovens in the break room, but then again, people are supposed to be at training, and not nuking snacks! (no baby monitors at work either) :)

(the 900 Mhz ones, instead of the new improved ones, were also $99 instead of 200+ Progress?!?!?!? :)

Thanks,

To be more specific, I'm looking to connect a notebook to a monitor and link box over a distance of about 20m. I need to extend a USB cable, an audio cable (3.5mm), a series cable (9-pin D-sub) and a VGA cable (three-row 15 pin).

cheers

Got any bottom limit on cost? I was trying to figure out how to let my sister control her computer upstairs, while downstairs watching TV (she has a 60" plasma widescreen, I wanted it downstairs instead of my wimpy 32", so I could watch it, but had to figure out how she could work on her laptop from mine downstairs, so she'd let me move the TV downstairs) In your case, consider something like an elcheapo or used laptop with wireless ($50 and up, even new I have seen em for under 500), ad-hoc mode, and Remote Access software (link for info about various types at
