wired access point query !?
Hi guys
can you get a "wired access point" ... basically i need a device that can pick up a wireless device and then connect it to multiple computers via a ethernet cable
ive looked at wireless access points however they seem to connect to a router and then send out wireless connections to supported wireless enabled pc,s and laptops
however would these work the other way around.... connect to the pc/laptop to the wireless access point and then wirelessly connect to the router ?
any help will be much appreicated
cheers guys
to be more precise.... i want a access point that can pick up a wireless signal which can then be forwarded by ethernet cable to multiple pc,s...... no need for dongles or wireless pci cards...

Nice question
To my understanding, most wireless routers have the capability to connect wireless devices to all other wired clients (at least that is the way mine works, link to it in the source). This also works vice versa, wired clients are connected to all wireless devices. So long as they are all on the same network connection (ie the same router device).
