Usb to RJ45 adapter for wireless internet

[Sparci]

Hello,

I recently purchased wanadoo broadband, which came with a modem with a usb connection ( not rj45, which i thought ). So I ordered a us robotics wireless router etc, which has only RJ45 ports, so does anyone know how I can bridge the connection between the two. Without having to set a PC up as a proxy....

Cheers

Check with wanadoo and see if they have a substitute modem that has an ethernet port. What type of access is your connection...adsl...cable....sat....?

this should allow you to connect the RJ45 to USB but you might still need a USB-A to USB-B converter

I don't think this has the correct picture but is female A to male B.

Good luck.

My connection is ADSL.

Shadesdude, will that device not require a driver ?

I vote with JOAMON above.

Don't even think about it. Get a modem with an ethernet port.
