Mobility Site - View Single Post - I'm confused about routers, and PCI adapters

poppajon,

I think all of the currently sold wireless routers come with 4-LAN ports that can be used with ethernet patch cables to attach to 'wired' equipment. Note that wireless and router are both important in this name - you don't want a standard ethernet router and as v8sho mentioned, you want a router, not an access point. A few of the older WiFi routers only had a single LAN port.

FYI, I have a "Wireless FAQ" posted here (and linked from the second thread in this forum) which may answer any more questions you may have. When you are ready to set it up, look at the "WiFi How-To" linked from the third thread. I think it may help, too.
