Wi-Fi receiver?

CB

I have a device which is expecting a wired network connection. That room only has Wi-Fi access and I can't run a cable into there cheaply or easily. All that I can find searching online is Wi-Fi receivers with USB adapters. That won't work.

I'm not sure what search terms to use to find what thing it is that I actually need.

Any help?

Lots of good info in there, thanks.

It seems that 'wireless bridge adapter' is the thing I'm looking for. :-)

All you need is an ethernet bridge. Here's a Netgear.

Already grabbed this one. If it's not a strong enough antenna, I can always return it for a more expensive option

Well, that piece of shit had to go back.

I guess no one has any suggestions for under $25 or so? If it's anymore than that, I might as well return this Blu-ray player and get one with built in wi-fi for the price difference... Unless those have crappy antennae also...

Do you have any old routers that you could flash DD-WRT onto?
