USB Router??

[grez]

Hi to all! Have a client who has the Satilite Dish internet (Direcway) and the connection from the input/output box for the internet is USB only. Looking for a wireless USB router. I did find one (Netgear) but the cost is way up there. All other routers are the standard RJ 45. Tried an adapter between the router and satilite components (which didn't work of course due to the fact that the adapter was not directly linked to the computer -- again, between the satilite and router). Any ideas before I ask him to spend the money? Thanks in advance!

Why not just use a standard RJ45-based wireless router + PCI NIC in the computer? Ethernet is faster than USB networking and NICs cost peanuts.

Even if you found a USB router, (rare, but possible) it would not work. See this site for a discussion and workaround:

Hey guys! Thanks for the responses!! This is a client of mine who I tried to talk into a comcast connection rather than satillite. Anyway, the link bcastner had sent is what I will do.

Thanks for your responses!!
