Connecting an Ethernet-only PC to a router wirelessly

by hornetvtol Dec 19, 2016 6:56PM PST

So let's assume that I have a router that I cannot move. Let's also assume that I have an Ethernet-only PC that I want to connect that router to, but it's far enough away that a hardwire connection is not feasible, and would generally be unacceptable. What are my options, and what hardware would I need? Thanks.

That's called a Wireless Client or Powerline network.

These are numerous now so the two types are WiFi Clients or Powerline networking.

Your choice on which to try.
