I have a wifi hot point sending radio towards my computer. On the compute=
r I have an ethernet card. Into the ethernet plug, I put the 10 inch-long=
 ethernet-style cable coming from the "bridge", a Linksys 810+ (which nee=
ds to be powered). The bridge has its own antenna which will talk to the =
wifi hotpoint. In my case hot point to computer distance is about 10 yard=
s. The bridge has a chip inside. To configure it, you start your browser =
and follow instructions. You do not connect to the regular ethernet for t=
his one-time configuration. You need no other software.

Call linksys 7/24 "support" if needed.   =20
