plug in a wireless ap to the cdream that is preconfigured to your network and connects to your wireless router.
urban was selling some tp ap gear that apparently works well for what you want
Hoping someone can help me here. What is the best way to wirelessly connect my Dreambox to the port on my 4-port ADSL router. At the moment I have a 15m ethernet cable running through the house and my partner is not all too happy about that.

you will need to wireless APs, one capable of running in wireless client mode. One AP plugs into the ethernet port of your adsl router in wireless AP mode. the other AP in wireless client mode connects to the ethernet port of your DB and talks to the ADSL router via the wireless AP.
you could also use BPL such as homeplug. I am using this one:
but there are heaps of other similar products around. it uses the powerlines in your home to propogate ethernet.
The bpl does work but remember that the points must be on the same circuit and considering he has mentioned that he has 15 meters of cable running would suggest that the points are in different rooms and could be on separate circuit's.
as shown below if both plugs are on A then it will work but if 1 is on "A" and the other on "B" or "C" it will not work
a user by the name of urban_soulja sells TP link access points for $49... i have previously setup and used those on dboxes
till date they are performing rock solid!!!
I would not deal with this bloke you never get your product you pay for.I am still waiting for mine
I bought the tplink 501 from
never skipped a beat. You could always buy the linux version on the
linksys router (GL) and reflash it with the third party firmware.
Urban_Soulj's prices are better and his freight is less
That's very true Billy, but have you ever tried ringing Scorptec for technical support, it's somewhat akin to Army Intelligence, an oxymoron.
Thanks for the heads up.
After all its worth paying for the after sale service.

i have used the tp links with success but had the problem of the son then trying to hook his laptop onto it as well and the next thing i know i get this phone call asking me if there was any reason the new wireless thingy could blow all of our bandwidth only to find the son had reset them and the whole neighborhood was knocking it off
and have used ethernet over power from different circuits in a house with no trouble at all as well
in fact i have just installed a system at an extremely large house and we used 13 of them and all with great success and you dont have to worry about people playing with them
