ok, so i have a belkin wireless router, the only
problem is i don't have a phoneline in a
convienient place. i already have an ethernet cable
which i plug in to my phoneline and then plug
in to the electrical socket, i then have another
electrical plug socket in my room with an ethernet
cable running from the electrical socket in my
room into my computer upstairs.
what i am interested in knowing is that, am i
able to connect the ethernet cable thats coming out
of my electrical socket in my room to my
wireless router to make it a wireless access
point.
any suggestions would be helpful!
thanks

Should'nt be a problem. Dig out the quick
instalation guide and CD that came with the D-Link
and follow the instructions.
You'll probably need to directly connect it to your
PC first in order to set up the wireless side
of things.
You may even get a strong enough signal upstairs
by attatching it at source, rather than on the
end of your ethernet cable?
Let's know if you get stuck.
