OK, got a strange question. Ive got a wireless network running, and I need (wont go into details why) to have a remote ethernet/LAN hub for 2 desktops that wireless links into the existing wireless network.

Anyone got any ideas?

What make/model is your existing wireless router?

Can't you just get wireless cards for the 2 PC's!??

Thats makes sense, the only other way is to put in a wireless bridge with wired capability but this is much more exspenive than 2 x £11 usb wireless nics

no not really... it seems like the most straight forward reason and you didn't say anything in the inital post to suggest that you were unable to do this!

Not necessarily, you didn't explain why you wanted to go this route as opposed to wireless nics?!

what's the reason for a Hub over wireless usb/pci?!

As I stated in the top post, Im not doing into details why I need this set-up, just wanted views on if it was viable and how it could be done.
