How Can I Connect A Wired Switch To A Wireless Network ?

May 14th, 2009 | by Frenday |

In my Den I have a wireless router. In my office I have 5 desktop computers that do not have wireless cards, and I don’t want to put wireless cards in them. How can I connect a 8port wired switch to the wireless network? Is there a device to bridge the two?

    If you plug the switch into the router (use one of the LAN ports) they will be connected!
    You can also get a wireless bridge like the Linksys WET54Ghttp://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite…
    Connect that bridge to the switch and all machines on the switch are then connected without having to run a cable to the den. A cable is the better solution but you can use a wireless bridge if necessary.
