I am not sure if this is possible. I normaly have a very unusual sleeping pattern. I wait till parents are in bed and then start work, this means I am often working till 3:00am and don't sleep till 5:00am. The sitation has got really quite stupid and I now want a much better routine.
I have been given a new work area in the dining room but there is no ethernet access there which is essential for my job as I deal with many desktops with no WIFI connection. I have been told I am not allowed to run messy wires to it the new work area so running an ethernet cable from the downstairs router is not an option.
I thought about mains over ethernet but the cheapest solution is £40. I could have a PC running at the workstation and bridge the wireless connection on that to the ethernet port which will work but it is messy and the last thing I need down there is another full time PC.
I could use an old broken laptop for the job but I don't have any spare.
This got me thinking is there any cheap wireless routers e.g TPlink where I could setup it up t get the internet access wirelessly and then use the ethernet switch as normal? I am currently looking into wireless bridges which will allow me to use a wireless dongle and connect to the ethernet uplink port on the switch but not sure how reliable that would be and they are still not cheap.
What would you do? The problem is the room is nicely decorated with a fitted carpet etc so there isn't anyway of neatly running an ethernet cable to the workstation.
