In my apartment, I can only connect to the internet via apartment's Wifi hotspot. But I have a multiple devices that have only LAN connection such as PC, Internet TV, game console. All I have are DLINK wireless router(DSL-264OBT) and USB wireless adapter.
Objective: I'd like to access an internet from those devices.
Is it possible to use wireless router to connect to wifi hotspot and then share an internet to LAN via its own Ethernet port ?
One solution I can think of is to connect USB wireless adapter to PC and then share internet via router's LAN. But this way, If I want to play games, I have to turn on my PC all the time even I don't use it at all.
Anyone has solution for this ? It's OK for me to buy a new network device if it needed.
Which one do you think is the better choice between router that has DD-WRT support or the access point that is able to do wireless bridge? – user1782151 – 2013-01-03T11:49:25.227
I personally prefer DD-WRT, you can even get a couple of them running and set them up to do repeat-bridging. If it comes down to it, they have routers with dd-wrt pre-installed that all run really solidly. – charles.schlue – 2013-01-03T20:43:12.120
