    wireless to wire kit

    My wife's office is in a building with a wireless network. But her office I think using cat5e would be the best to connect my laptop, he PC, my pC and the group printer (which has a 100Base-t connection). Any router kit out there that will do that?

    I'm struggling in my search.

    The router will have ethernet ports, is that what your after? Maybe I have misread your post though...

      basically want a switch or hub which can take the wireless network and put it through ethernet cat5-e. else I've the hassle of buying everything a USB wireless thingi..... when I've got all the cables already. And it will be faster from PC to PC and PC to printer.

        100Bast-T is normally terminated with a RJ45 socket / plug, this can be wired with CAT5e upwards.

        Sounds like you just need a plain old Ethernet switch, with RJ45 connections, 99% of them have these connections now. BNC is long gone!!!

          in which case an ethenet router is fine, and if you need more than the 4 ports that come with it you'll be able to add a switch as well.....
