Quick question for anyone in the know, can i use a wireless access point to extend my wired network? (If that makes sense)
I assume standard usage for these types of devices is to plug them into a wired network and have wireless client connect to them, however, can I get an access point to connect to my router wirelessly and then plug a wired network device into it?
TIA

I know - really cheap! I have a print server for my printer, but it is a fair few years old and therefore doesn't have wireless, but is stil in great working order. Thinking this is the cheapest way to get my printer wireless!
