My problem:
My media center needs the internet, and is very difficult to run wiring to.
What I have:
- 2 devices, could grow to 4, but in general only 1 would be used at a time (xbox, or DishTV broadband via receiver, etc). Currently using very flaky powerline for DishTV and perfectly fine wireless G adapter for xbox
- ASUS RT-N16 - currently serving the house with wireless
- WRT54G - NOT currently in use - If I recall, the revision I have is not upgradeable to alternate firmware, but it's been a long time since I looked
- All clients are currently wireless G or N
My Question:
Can I use the WRT54G somehow as a wired access point for the media center? Is there another piece of technology that will work in the way I want? I'd prefer a single wireless 'client' that I could hardwire everything else to.
