    Is there anything on the market they will let you do wireless networking minus a computer or the confusing mess that is "wi fi"?

    I want to run a TVoverIP single to a TV that dose not have cat5 wired to it.

    I have an old linksys wireless G hub..but god it sucks it never port forwards for me.... but what I really want is a device that can send data wirelesssly without the hassle of windose netowrking....

    Unless your TV has the intelligence of a PC (or at least a Web Browser built in), I don't think that you can do what you want to do.

    Well that is my question has anyone made a simple point to point wireless setup for networking?

    It seems rather a simple thing to do network cat 5 on the is plugged into Device,device sends data through the air to another device that picks up data and outputs it back to cat 5 which then sends single to the set top box that sends data back to the network through the wireless connection.

    I mean hell how hard is it to link the devices with a pass word but otherwise operate as a wireless network minus the need of a computer?


    Or can you link wireless hubs together?

    Wi fi is as confusing to me as networking is, needlessly complicated and aggravating.

    Idiot(me) can hook up a PC in the garage through wi fi it has limited connections but for surfing it dose well enough, but can idiot plug something like a set top box off that wants to pluged into the cat 5 into one of the wi fi devices on that PC or router or wi fi hub?

    I still don't get what you want to do.

    You can't pump IP into a TV and get a signal.

    You can put IP into an intelligent STB and produce an HDMI signal for a TV.

    Are you talking about getting the wireless signal from your router into the STB?

    Do you see now?

    Its sent through a cat 5 network from the pole to a router to a set top box and to my computer. My question is can any of these lines be made wireless.

    I am quite familiar with the technology. It's your description of what you want to do is what has me confused.

    You need a set top box that has a built in wireless interface.

    I doubt that you could "add it on" to an existing device.

    Ya there seems to be little variation in wi fi devices its all straight up, I vaguely know its due to either protocols or security. But it always gets me when something rather simple is not made....
