Analog Modem / Router Combination

boostinbadger

I have a user in my building who wants wireless capability in his house. No problem. However, his only option as far as internet is dial up. Setting up wireless in his house for printing, etc is no problem, but he would like to be able to use his laptop wirelessly to connect to the internet. What kind of analog modem / router combination is out there to set up this application?

I could do something like this:

but would prefer something ready to go out of the box if possible.

Thanks for any help.

That really doesn't look that involved. I'm not sure what your problem is

Does he have another PC or just the laptop? He could always do something like setup internet connection sharing then connect an AP to that PC.

My bad. I forgot to mention he does not have another PC. That was my first question to him too. If he did, this would be a piece of cake.

Maybe give this a shot. Their "buy now" link doesn't seem to work, but maybe they can help if you call them. There's a couple on eBay as well.

Thanks dynamik. It looks like a pretty solid unit with everything he would need. I read a bunch of reviews on it, most of which were good.

$149.95, ouch.

I wouldn't get it. If it was $50 or so I would.
