Alright, this might be a weird one but maybe there is a solution.
Currently my home is set up on a D-Link Systems DIR-655 wireless router (D-Link Xtreme N Gigabit Router)
My office is set up in a garage separated from the main house, about 150 feet away from the router location, and with the distance and the walls a wireless signal is impossible. For my devices that require a lan line; I've been getting internet signal through 200' outdoor grade Cat5 cables, and that works great, but I'm finding that my network needs out here continue to grow, and running more and more cables, while effective until I max out my available lan ports, can be a bit costly and quite a hassle to properly run a wire for each new device. At the moment I have two cables coming out here, one for my network BD player and another for my desktop. I've recently acquired a laptop, so what I would like to do is add some sort of device at the end of the BD player line that transmits a wireless signal for the laptop, but still has a lan port for the BD player. Is there any way to achieve my goals?
Additionally, the wireless signal at the far end of the house is weak, so if it is possible to make a wireless signal at the end of a lan line that is already plugged into a router, then I'd probably want to do the same in that area.
