Recommend a wireless hub/adapter?

Post by Hamel »

I need a WIFI connection for my new PSP, and whatever wireless hardware I buy in the future, but I don't want to move my whole network over to wireless or spend 40 bucks on a silly PCI card. I just want something that will plug in to my wired router.

Consider in the recommendation that PSP should be able to access it. I've heard of wireless routers causing problems for DS users and I'm worried that something similar could happen to me.
"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."

I would have suggested a wireless bridge, but that only brings a wireless signal in, doesn't broadcast. I suspect you'll just have to bite the bullet and buy a wireless router and plug it into your wired one.

All of the wireless routers I've seen have 4 wired ports in addition to the wireless access.
"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."- General Sir Charles Napier
