You could setup a wireless access point that would be plugged into your
existing router and configure it for your current network settings e.g
192.168.0.1/8 You will want to setup your security obviously on it as well,
WEP 40/128bit and make sure that your wireless access point supports TKIP
for security purposes used to encrypt WEPS keys.
Security is the first thing on my mind for WLAN, but thanks for the
heads-up anyway.

I am looking at buying a laptop with wireless networking
capabilities some time in the near future. I would like to be able
to take advantage of them, but I am unsure of how to do this. Is
there a wireless hub
(instead of router) available? I want to keep my existing wired
network, and stay with the same connection. Is there some device
that can turn a network connection (when plugged into an existing
wired router) into a wireless network signal? I suppose it would be
possible to plug a cable into a wireless router and create a whole
new subnetwork, but I would like to avoid this.
Any thoughts?
Regards,
Andrew

Why am I scared of Windows? Let's just say I will be glad I have my Knoppix CD.
