Connect ethernet router cable to wireless adapter
I travel a lot with an IBM T-60 laptop, and would like to be able to connect
it wirelessly.
In many cases I have access to a regular network ethernet cable for internet
access, but no wireless connection. The ethernet cable (Cat 5, RJ 45) is
typically hooked into a server or router (usually a wall plug such as a
hotel).
Is there a wireless adapter I can plug into the available ethernet cable and
then connect to the wireless built into my computer? |

An Apple Airport Express works very well for this. Not sure what other mfrs
have made, but check the Netgear/Linksys/Dlink line. |
