Convert a eircom router into a wireless adapter

Ascii

Hi there

Down stairs in the sitting room I have phone point which is connected to my Sky Broadband modem. From here a Cat 5 cable feeds to the sky box. I use the laptop wirelessy throughout the house for internet. I have a Windows 7 desktop PC upstairs in the office and it would be a big job to get a CAT 5 cable from the Sky modem to the PC. I have an unused Eircom D1000 zyxel modem. Can I sit this on top of my PC in the office, run a LAN cable from the Eircom router to the pc and then (here is the technical part) change the settings on the router (say change it from routing to bridging or assign it a fixed IP/DCHP address) to allow it to receive the signal from the sky modem and enable me to put my PC on the net. In escence I want to see can I convert the Eircom modem into a wireless adapter or wireless card for the PC.

Thanks

No, it's locked down, you can't do much with it other than broadcast wifi.

What you're talking about is a wireless bridge, and as above cannot be done. Get a cheap wlan pci card from amazon.
