My scenario is I have a broadband 4 port router modem (not wireless) with 2 PCs on it. I now have a laptop and 802.11b PCMCIA card and want to connect into the router.

My query is whether it is possible to get some kind of standalone wireless transmitter that will sen stuff from a port of my existing router to my wireless PCMCIA card. Or am I going to have to ditch the router and get an all-in-one router/modem/802.11 jobby?

Thanks folks!

Ah cool thanks. For some reason I had it in my head that a network access point was a receiver, not a transmitter.
