Hlep with connecting a wired only device to a wireless network

[Smurf65]

can anyone suggest a device i can get that will allow me to connect my amplifier ( LAN Cable only ) to my wireless network. it is impractical to run a lead from the router to the amplifier.

Does this amplifier have a USB port? If so, you can use a USB wireless adapter - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833124475

You may need an external USB DVD drive to use the setup CD.

Hi Ubrales,

no as mentioned in the original post it has LAN cable point only.

You need what is called a client-bridge. Many of the so called wan extenders can do this but they sell much simpler devices that are designed to connect to a tv or game console that only has a ethernet port. These used to be sold as gaming adapters but it is hard to get a good search term now days. Mostly the issue is going to be all the confusing options and ways to set these up if you buy the high end wireless repeaters. The simple devices require no changes or any special support on your router.

Now if you are the technical type you can take pretty much any router that supports dd-wrt and use that for this purpose.
