I have a wireless laptop and mobile phone, but i was wondering if there is a device to send internet signals from non wireless router to the laptop????

If there is no such a device, so can any genius work on it and try to make it?

I think this device is needed, and will be very useful...

  1. its called a wireless switch or access point and can be bought fairly cheaply

    like these here

    if you don't need any extra wired connections

    Edimax EW-7206APG would do

  2. Hi,

    Yeh a wireless acces point will solve your problem.

  3. Is the goal not to spend money? If that's not the problem, you could just add a wireless access point (WAP) to your network. You could also swap out your router (assuming your cable/DSL modem and router aren't one and the same) with a wireless version. The cost will be the same.

    You can find a set of those at:

    http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.... (Look at the access points, not the bridges.)

    I have used the Linksys version of that. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...

    Essentially, you cable your network from the router to the WAP. The WAP broadcasts the wireless signal just as a wireless router would.

  4. The easiest and cheapest is a cat5 patch cable; plug it into the network switch and the laptop and you are in business.

    If you want to link wirelessly to the laptop, procure a Wireless Access Point.  It is a LAN appliance and it needs to be configured; not hard but needs to be properly done.
