You mean something that will give you a ethernet plug off your wireless?

Theyre like $80-120, might be able to get them cheaper…

Um… I dont know what theyre called…

what you want is a wireless access point. Basically it is a wireless card for a switch, but it is it’s own box. I would assume that they make WAP’s with a switch capability, but i havent been shopping for one since the good ole days of 802.11b, but if you take a standard WAP and plug a hub or switch into it you will be all set. Take a look at the Linksys WAP54G It should get you all set to go.

Wireless bridge. It brings wireless to devices that don’t have a wireless card built in.

I have a sling box, and I’m getting a Mvix I want to connect them to the interweb and I don’t want to use power over ethernet

I have a wireless router with a computer connected to it via ethernet so I’m not moving it and getting a wireless card for the desktop.

You can also use a PowerLine unit to have the network through your home power cables.

I love this product 🙂

XE104G kit is a 4-port hub on on side, and the other the receiver which plugs into the router/switch to transmit.

Check Newegg. Netgear makes it.
