Getting internet access for VoIP
Hi,
Recently I signed up with Vonage and hope someone may help me to setup VoIP in my home. The phone line comes up to downstairs but I need to take it to the upstairs where I planned to use it for VoIP

The equipment that comes with my VoIP has connection options for VoIP and internet which I have to carry it from downstairs. Since I dont want to use wires to access internet, I am looking for the best wireless option which I plan this way - first the PC in upstairs should be wirelessly connected to the phone line from downstairs, then I would use ethernet to connect it to one of the ports in the equipment.

My questions are: what hardware can I use to access internet from my study in upstairs without running cable? Can a wireless bridge do this job?

Thanks

Heya,

Yes mate a wireless bridge will do the trick here.It is used for connecting two or more network segments which are psyically seperated.So in your case this would be perfect.

Good luck with sorting this out pal.

Some Access Points come with the features of bridge, so they can also be used to convert from ethernet to wireless and then from wireless to ethernet (because this is you want).

However, bridge and accesspoint are quite different.
