bridge a router for tv

donalg1

Is it possible to use a router and ethernet cable to connect a tv and sky box to WiFi. Basically the current router is upstairs and can't be brought down to the living room with the tv. Instead of buying a WiFi dongle for the tv and sky box is there s way to buy a New router and use that as a dongle as such for example put the new router behind the tv and connect it wirelessly to the one upstairs then run two Ethernet cables to the tv and sky box.

You could just get a wireless repeater/access point with ethernet, they cost about 30 quid

Here's the first one i spotted on amazon - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Repeater-amplifier-including-connection-standards/dp/B006CKWZT6/ref=sr_1_4?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1355481158&sr=1-4

This one has 4 ethernet ports so you wouldn't need to ****e about with a hub - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Netgear-Universal-WiFi-Range-Extender/dp/B003LAD8BY/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1355481373&sr=1-1
