    Hi everybody, I was wondering if there is an alternative method compared to a wireless router. Like a USB stick that does the same thing?
    Thanks, Jim.

    More advanced WiFi cards have an AP option. Just search for them, in there specification should be written that it works as an Access Point

    My router stopped working a while back and I just wanted to know if I should just buy a new one, or if there is an alternative.
    Thanks, Jim.
