Wi-Fi to Ethernet

Go to solution Solved by Jodomcfrodo,

Ok that sounds good but can i connect a switch to it. We have 10 PCs to connect and a switch is the only way.

I wouldn't see why you couldn't. Should be just a regular ethernet port. I could be wrong though.

I believe this is the model I use in my house. It is a wifi extender. If you go to your local radio shack you will probably be able to get something like this.

It allows for computers to be plugged in via ethernet but takes in wifi.

If you are talking about a desktop pc, just get a wireless card for it, I use this one in mine: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007GMPZ0A/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me= it has given me no problems so far.

What I'm doing this for is I started a club at my school, they have blocked internet and we are going to be doing a weekly stream but the internet won't let us. We bought a 4G hotspot but we need to connect the PCs using ethernet. The school won't let us add wireless cards, the OS is weird so we cant install extra software. We need to do it this way. I know it is weird but we have to find a way to "get the job done".
