MAKE your Dreambox WIRELESS

[bigboy]

Has anyone tried one of these or know of a better/cheaper option?

If you have a wireless AP kicking around, see if it can be configured for client mode. That's all that eBay device is doing.

You can buy a dd-wrt compatible router and run it in wireless bridge mode.

The Asus WL-520GC is one you can find for pretty cheap, works pretty well and can support up to 4 devices so handy if you have an xbox and a few other non-wireless network devices.

Fernys done a good guide here for the TP Link units,



Think we've both got them in stock as well.

I liked the fact that it uses the Dreambox 12v power supply and very compact I have a couple of AP now but they require their own 12v 500mw power pack.

I had an old 4port Dlink Print server with wireless on it plugged into my dreambox 800, connected to my home wireless network, worked a treat
