I don't want to run a cable, I'd rather connect via my WiFi router. all the wireless adaptors seem to be USB based. is there an ethernet plug equivalent I can get? cheers, Theo.	theob (7255)

[2 power plugs, carries ethernet over power...:p) Will cost between around $100, or less if you're prepared to hunt around on TradeMe 2. Buy a DD-WRT supported wireless router and then configure it into client mode. This will allow the router to grab the wifi signal, then tunnel it through its ethernet ports... WL-520GC is only around $50 on TM, so this would be the cheaper option. It would also be a bit more technical. Blam	Blam (54)

809824	2009-09-14 20:35:00	thanks- yes option 2 looks like the go- the bluray player assigns its own IP address- I was hoping just an aerial would work- but that's not a very tech. solution!	theob (7255)
