I have an old, modified, Series 1 TiVo that is still working great and I would like to continue to use. Here's the deal. As I said the TiVo is series 1, and it has a lifetime subscription. I've mod'ed it with a big HDD and one of those ethernet cards. I'm moving into a new house and won't have a telephone landline. Therefore, the only way the TiVo will be able to call in will be via the ethernet. I've had this working fine for years and it's not a problem. The problem is in my new house there is no good way of running ethernet cable from my router/modem to the TiVo. The router is wireless however. Is there some piece of hardware that I can plug the TiVo's ethernet cable into that connects wirelessly to the network? I'm fairly technically savy and am not too afraid of this type of stuff, but in this case I'm just ignorant of what type of wireless-ethernet bridge hardware exists. Thanks in advance for any advice.

I suggested "gaming bridge" because you can often find better prices/sales on things advertised that way, but they are all ethernet bridges, that is absolutely true.

This is exactly what I was looking for, I believe. Thanks for the help!
