Wireless network Hub.

Hello,

A network question. I have wireless broadband in the house but its at the front door where the eircom line comes in. I am thinking of getting a DVR that has an ethernet connection but do not want to hardwire between the two, so could I use a wireless hub and connect to DVR and then use my laptop to log onto the DVR over that wireless link??

Thanks in advance

What you want is a wireless ethernet bridge. It has 4 ports in it so you can even plug in more computers etc.

Thanks, is this the same thing for half the price??

One port is all I need.

Yeah that does the same job, however some people think that Belkin's wireless gear is rubbish/or it may work fine. Personally I think Buffalo has great hardware and more reliable but it's up to you.

Yep, Belkin is a POS, You'd be lucky if its still working when the warranty is up, plus they randomly loose their settings and have no signal strength.

I recommend Linksys (Buffalo not bad either, not much experience with them) cos they just work
