[LUG] Wireless LAN (OT?)

 

Hi

I am thinking of getting a Laptop with built in wireless.

However I have a wired LAN here.  The advice I got was that I must change all 
my stuff to wireless and get a wireless router.

I would have thought that there was a "black box" on the market that plugged 
into my normal Router, using one of the CAT 5 sockets, and that my wireless 
Laptop could talk to the network through that.  Unfortunately unless someone 
knows differently, that does not appear to be the case.

Thanks for any help.

Peter
