Is there such a thing as a "Wireless Hub" (Not an access point)

oblio98 · 06-07-2008, 07:26 AM

I have a wireless network in place. I have a remote location (within range) that has 3 devices that have network connection ports (2 satellite receivers, one AVR receiver).

Is there a device like a hub or switch that I can put at this location that will get it's network signal from my wireless network and then distribute it to the three devices at this location?

Or, could I use something like a Wireless Game Adapter and connect that to a standard hub/switch (assuming that I hard code an IP address into each device).

Thanks

NOt sure if this is what you mean, but you can get a wireless switch infact netgear have just brought out a new Wireless Smart Switch called WFS709TP, i think.
