External WiFi connectivity device
I have an older laptop.
The one PCMCIA slot is being used to connect a DVD drive. The one available RJ-45 Ethernet port is built-in. There is WiFi available in this area. I would like this laptop to have a WiFi connection. Is there an external networking device that: a. Establishes the WiFi connection on one side. b. Has a RJ-45 port on the other side. c. With a RJ-45 LAN cable, I can physically connect the RJ-45 port on the laptop to the RJ-45 port on this networking device. d. So the laptop now has WiFi connectivity via this external networking device. I am sure there are products that do this. Who makes them? Do you have any recommendations? |
You could use a linksys wrt54gl with the dd-wrt firmware.
If you login to the router you can browse for other wireless networks and make a connection to it. ps there are other routers you can flash with the dd-wrt firmware |
