If the FP reader is not a PC to which you can add a standard wi-fi card then you'll need to connect the ethernet cable from it to a wireless access point or router.
Then install a wi-fi card in the PC that does the downloading, make them talk, you're done. Carl p.s. As this is win-HOME there are other lists for professional/work-related questions ... if you care to have a better selection of professional opinions. -----Original Message----- From: Windows Home/SOHO [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Richard King Sent: Wednesday, September 20, 2006 1:14 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Wifi in place of peripheral LAN cable? Hi, At work, we have a Sagem finger-print reader (sophisticated push-button!) built into one of our automatic doors, ready for a trade fair. FP data is downloaded to it via a LAN cable (TCP/IP) from the PC which runs the enrollment program. There is no router or modem involved. What we (I!) want to do is cut out the cable & add in a Wifi link, so that the PC can stay on a table in a corner of the booth, & so that we don't have the risks associated with a cable running under the floor of the booth (previous bad experience!). Doe anyone have an idea of how to do this?
