Hi I was looking into this the other day as part of a wee fantasy where I had some money and would be able to not have to lift floorboards to run cable to get network access upstairs.
This is the beastie you need AFAIK http://www.netgear.com/product_view.asp?xrp=11&yrp=30&zrp=92 which should plug into an existing ethernet. Not so sure of security, mind you. Dabs had them when I checked, and they also had the best price. I went for the floorboard option in the end. :( Paul Rutherglen > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Mike > Sent: 11 March 2002 16:04 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [scottish] Wireless Hub Vendor? > > > Hi there, > > Does anyone know where I can get a wireless access point that > will plug into > an existing wired 10/100BaseT Hub using Rj45?
