No internet involved here.

I currently have a computer connected to two motor controllers via a switch. I'd like to eliminate the ethernet cable. The computer IP address is currently assigned, not provided with DHCP.

Is this enough information to specify the hardware that would be required to connect these devices wirelessly?

Thanks

Assuming your two 'motor controllers' are connected to your switch via ethernet cable...

You would need to get your self a wireless router with a 4 port switch to plug the motor controllers into and then a Wireless PCI card to install in the PC. This would eliminate the 'ethernet' connection between the PC and the Controllers.

I think this is what you are trying to achieve. Post back if yo need more info.
