IP Phone/Wireless Question
Here's the deal... I have a Westell 327W ADSL wireless router in one of my rooms. In the family room area, I have a MAC PC and Windows PC that is used for work that I am am able to pick up wireless from. I now have an IP phone that I need connected, but it doesn't have wireless capability and has a CAT5 input.
It won't work if I try to plug it into the Windows PC that is pulling an IP through wireless. The phone works fine if I plug the CAT5 into the ADSL wireless router.
I'm wondering if it is possible to purchase a wireless router that will pick up the signal from my current ADSL router to work with my phone or if I can purchase a USB to CAT5 converter/adaptor to connect a external wireless adapter to?
Thanks for your help!

Actually found something that works quite well for my situation... Netgear Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter Kit... comes with two units, one plugs into a power outlet near the wireless router and has an ethernet cable that runs from it to the router. The ethernet connnection is fed through the house power... where I have the phone, I plugged in the other unit and ran the ethernet connection to the IP Phone. Up to 200 Mbps and offers security. Works GREAT!!!
Can turn any electrical outlet into a high speed internet connection... works for TIVO, Slingbox, game consoles, TVs... fast enough for streaming HD video.
Awesome invention!!!
