Wireless network

[aze]

Hi all!

I trying to connect a pc to an existing LAN hub with no cables (see the pic). But I don't know how to proceed. Any idea?

These should help you get an idea of where to start.

ok! thank you! I should read that before! but now I am wondering what device should I buy.

In this scheme: https://www.techspot.com/articles/networking101/router-with-hub-ap.gif

the wireless access point is connected to the hub. But the vendors I visited don't said it clearly. What device should I buy to connect it to the hub?

thanks!

you need to install a Wireless Network Access Point like the Linksys WAP11. This plugs in your hub. Then you use the wireless PCI-card in your desktop to receive the signal from the WAP.

see here for more info:

Look around on the web for faster/other cards if you like.

cool! but i still looking for an economic way to do that.

its too expensive! don't you know a cheaper device?

Then forget about wireless. Just buy a cheapo NIC (ethernet network card) and a straight connecting cable. Costs about $20
