Adapter for wireless

elcabron · 2005-09-21 16:02:23

I have a machine at work which is in the middle of a production area with no tidy drops for cat5 networking. So wireless is the answer but the machine only has an RJ45 port and no available expansion slots. No usb, no pcmcia. All of the wireless solutions appear to be usb, so can anyone tell me what adapter I need to…

There are products available to go from ethernet -> wireless (A more direct solution)
search for Ethernet to Wireless Bridge or Wireless Ethernet Converter

Explain your setup a little more: Desktop or Laptop? (PCI? ), exisitng infrastructure (any wireless elswhere-what distance),etc..

one of these will work for you.

I use the WET11 myself. Works great, easy to setup.
