Broadband to wireless?

LithiumKid1976

Hi
my brother has broadband in his house.
His connection is comming in on a rj-45 network connection, from some sort of ariel based broadband. (hope that makes sense.)

Is it possible to connect this to a wireless router, which could then broadcast this signall around the house, and maybe to next door (couple of feet away)

If anyone has any suggestion or advice on hardware id appreciate it.
Thanks
Damien

Yes any wireless router with a WAN port will do your Job - I recommend http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.aspx?sku=340639 But stick with a decent brand and you will be fine - Just look out for 5 RJ45 connections on the back of the routers you do not want a DSL router which has 4 RJ45s and a telephone socket

Can't fault the suggestion above but you may also consider the Linksys WRT54G or the GL or GS version of same, made by Cisco

Just make sure, the router you choose will have minimal WPA Wireless security but I highly recommended WPA2 on both router and Computer.
