TurboNet and wireless (802.11)
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: droidd

I recently moved around my TV setup, which included my TiVo.

After I moved everything, I realized that my network jack was on the wall that had my TiVo. Now my TiVo was no where near a network connection.

So now my problem is how to use the existing TurboNet card to get my TiVo back on my network. I would rather not sting 75 feet cat5 cable across the room and I don't want to spend 120 or so dollars on the 9th T's wireless setup.

Is there a some fairly inexpensive 802.11 device that I could connect the cat 5 cable from the TurboNet card into so that I could obtain an IP address from my existing Linksys BEFW11S4 wireless router?

I was looking at the new Linksys WGA11B, but I think the problem that I will have is that it will not be able to pass along an IP address to the TiVo.

Any ideas for a fairly reasonable solution ?

Hi,

The best are the linksys WET11 or WET54G - they are both wireless to ethernet bridges.

I use the WET11 for the exact same purpose. It works great, and it provides extra jacks for my TiVo2 and extra computers (connected to a small hub). You can get it for $100 at newegg.com.
