Hi.
I've got a Netgear DG834 router which has 4 ethernet ports and connects to the internet without the need of a separate ADSL modem. I now want to add wireless capabilities as cheaply as possible. So far, I've noticed that things like the Linksys 802.11b Wireless Routers are often cheaper on eBay than wireless access points.
Can I just plug it into my existing router, using the rj45 socket that's supposed to go to the modem? Or would I be better off getting a proper wireless access point?
using another router would also provide me with a few extra ethernet connections too, which always comes in handy!
