    hi there. i'm trying to set up my part of my house's network, and it looks like this:

    - a netgear rangemax wireless router* in the living room -

    - lots of empty space and a hallway between the router and my room -

    - in my room, a dell desktop PC and a microsoft XBOX 360 -

    at the moment i've trailed about seventy feet of ethernet cable from the router to my PC, but i want to remove that cable in a few days. i have no wireless card in my computer and no wireless adapter for my xbox; they must be fed internet from ethernet cables.

    what i want is one device that will receive wireless internet from my router and transmit through ethernet jacks so i can plug in my PC and my xbox. and i'd prefer to have a netgear product because the router is netgear.

    i think i need a 'wireless ethernet bridge', although i'm not sure that's exactly what it's called. i've looked over netgear's site but i'm not sure what to get. please advise if you can! thanks
