Adding wireless capability to a wired LAN

deepbluephoenix · Feb 1, 2004

Okay I know this is almost certainly impossible but I've been asked to find out about it so meh.

Is it or is it not possible to get some device that can plug into a wired router, say a Draytek Vigor 2600 , and add wireless capability?

of course if there isn't I can just say "not possible" *grins*

.....easy to add a WiFi access point to an exisitng wired LAN. It's just another RJ45 ethernet connection....get current with the security issues and you are good to go...
If you want to use a router as an access point, all you do is run a cable from the LAN port on the upstream router to a LAN port on the access point, disable DHCP on the access point and you are good to go.
