network newbie q: Help!

[waharris007]

Hey, if I have a Netgear Wireless router and an X-Box, what do I need to receive the wireless net signal? My gut instinct was a WAP, but I think I'm wrong. It looks like a WAP connects to a wired router to broadcast a signal. I don't need something to broadcast, I need a receiver! What do I need to get?

To confuse the "enemy" (meaning us) Linksys calls it a Bridge, but actually it is a Driverless Wireless Client.

Since it is Driverless it is meant to work with Game Boxes Printers etc.

Okay, wireless 101. What exactly am I looking for? What is the cheapest? What do I ask for?

right HERE is what you want. Now that is Linksys's version. You can get other vendors probably for cheaper but i have used linksys's and they have all worked very good. The only think you want to look out for is if you are using a 2.4 MHZ phone in the same house.
