i have a cat5e ran into a different room coming from my router where my modem is located. Its a long distance, i estimate the wire to be a good 200'. How can i create wifi from that wire in the new room??
Discussion is locked
I can use almost any router with WiFi in it to get it done.
Research on google.com with this phrase: "How to use a router as a WAP?"
That's whats up. Thank you very much. i knew what i needed, i figured it was possible, i just needed someone to tell me what it was called. Cascading Routers. Simple for a dummie like me, linksys makes a nice video tutorial. Took me 4 hours but i finally got away from a switch with wires all over my house! 
who knew. Thanks again
