wired wireless access
kahlid74:
What you're trying to do is not tough, but it requires the right adapter as people have mentioned above. I've had great success with these adapters (www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-Wireless-N-Access-Bridge-WNHDE111/dp/B00126V3EI/) but they are no longer made. If you do decide to bridge push to use the 5Ghz band as long as the distance/object in the way aren't too much.
I'm not a fan of 802.3U. Especially in an older house where the power lines aren't uniform. I prefer to either run a new cable to the said location or make sure I've got wireless to said location. I think people abandon wireless because everything the industry tells you makes it out to be child's play when it can actually be quite complicated. Reflection, Refraction, Absorption, distortion, channel overlap, devices sending interruptions with CSMA/CA causing all devices to halt, older devices connecting and reducing all connected devices speeds to their speed, etc. If you're having wireless issues I would pick up a wireless card that allows for promiscuous capture and run a few tests to find out what your issue is.
