Just out of curiosity, I just picked up a linksys wrt 120n for 2 bux,  I need to set it up so I can watch TV in a room that doesnt have a ethernet jack.  Im too cheap to call my TV provider to come out and install a line to where I want it. 

 

That being said how the fuck would I set it up so it will connect with my exsisting AP wirelesly.  OR am I thinking this cant be done?

 

Cheers

I think you will have to call your ISP so they can configure it to there system

 

 

You would only be able to use the wireless for the tv and you will need either a smart tv

or a wireless blueray or gaming system and then still would be limited to netflix unless

you have something on the line of direct tv

 

 

 

Cant you just drop a cable wire to the other tv ?

Can't be done. No matter how you slice-and-dice it, It needs to either connect to a networked PC or directly to your router via ethernet. I looked into this a while ago, and after researching the snot out of it, I ran Cat6 all over the house. Luckily, the basement has a drop-ceiling and the previous owners drilled holes in the floor in several rooms.

Not really, my internet/tv router is downstairs, and I want to get TV in my master bed.  I could go by a Telus STB that is wireless (they do have one) But I'd rather not spend the money on a new STB or having someone come out.  Looks like either way the 10 bux Ive spent all together isnt that bad of an investment.

Get you a set of these so you add a wired connection via your power lines. They work great with fantastic performance.

Then I kept reading..

 

Well these only solves the network issues. :)

You could follow Hxtr idea then get a hdmi to cat 5 converter that way you can plug the hdmi into your stb or tv plug it into the power line  and then in your bedroom just do the reverse.

There is always a way if you think about it.

Or just buy a tv sender that plugs into you set top box and then beams it to what ever tv you want it too and you then can change channel ect  but you would be limited to watching the same program in both rooms
