Wirless Access Point / Ethernet Bridge


How do you connect your Blu-ray Player / XBox / Wii / PS3 with no built-in wi-fi support to internet , when your entertainment center is far from your home network router?

The best answer is to use Wireless Access Point with Ethernet Bridge functionality. These devices act as a client and connect to the existing wireless router and provides switch functionality with multiple Ethernet ports.

Here are some of the products that support this functionality

Zyxel WAP3205 Wireless N Router / Ethernet Bridge
NETGEAR 5 GHz Wireless-N HD Access Point/Bridge WNHDE111

Actually any wireless router with WDS feature should be good enough to act as a bridge
