RJ45 to wireless

The easiest thing to do is get a WAP, wireless access point, it will just plug in to an RJ-45 on the existing router and function as a wireless transmitter for anything within range. You could also get another router, and configure it to work as a WAP, but that would require a few settings changes

A few setting changes to use a router as a wireless access point:

Routers are generally cheaper than wireless access points.

Due to quantity sold I suppose. Linksys WRT54G is $59 at Walmart same price at Best Buy and Circuit City who both have the WAP54G for like under $80 last time I bought one.

$49 and change today.

Sheese...*THAT* cheap! Another compelling reason choosing to deploy at 5.8 Gig was a good idea.

I sorta lied - it's $49 online at WalMart, $59 in the store. Best Buy is still $49 in the store. No idea why WallyWorld is different instore and online ( online includes store pickup ).

For your convenience of standing in line and listening to mothers that wait to get to Walmart to spank their kids.

Any wireless router can be used like this. Just disable its DHCP server, and connect it to your router, lan port to lan port (ignore the new unit's internet/wan port).
