    Wireless Bridge or Wireless Access Point

    I have Verizon Hi-Speed as my provider. Right now, I have Verizon's modem connected to a D-Link wireless router in my hobby room. I recently purchased a new Samsung 3D LED tv and a new Samsung 3D blu-ray player. Both of these units are "internet ready" via LAN cable port or proprietary Samsung USB dongle. I want to go the LAN route but I do not want to run a cable to the new tv's location. Do I need a wireless bridge or a wireless access point. Can you recommend a brand or model?

    I've used a couple bridges in the past to talk to my router. works fine if you get signal in your locations.

    I've got one of these as a spare since I ran some CAT6 in like new condition I'll sell you for $40 D-Link DAP1522

      There is excellent signal in the proposed tv location. So you have used this in a scenario like mine?

      That seems like a nice one. How old is it, is it complete w/ manuals, and is the price shipped to 92562?

        You would need a wireless bridge. Stick with Linksys, Netgear or D-Link and you should be good to go.
