Ethernet/LAN to wireless?
I bought a 50" Samsung C550 plasma, and it has a LAN port, for network sharing, however I am not able to run cable to that area. Is there some kind of Ethernet to wireless adapter?0

You will be surpised how good these guys are in getting wire to where it needs to go with negligible damage to finished walls. I did just that. I have cat5e cable throughout the house. It cost me about $500 of which $350 was labour. The true gigabit performance plus no security issues that affected wireless signals makes going wired well worth the effort.

Or in the $60 range, go for a TrendNet TEW-654TR. It is a pocket router that can run in client mode and can be powered via USB port. Simply connect the Ethernet cable to your TV and power it from a USB port on the back of your TV. Use double-side tape to stick the pocket router to the back of the TV (assuming not wall mounted).
However, having a device with a 4-port switch, may be the better choice, so that it is easy to add other networked toys in the TV area. Again, Canada Computers for the Belkin N Router for $39 (on sale).
Any router can be used. Disable DHCP and ignore the WAN port and you have an Access Point with 4 ports for wired devices.

EDIT: Just read the manual, and it said that for wireless you MUST use the Samsung Wireless LAn adapter. IS this true or not?
