Yes, I am actually doing that with a desktop that doesn’t have a wireless card and it works great.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. I am doing this. If you need more than 1 device, then use a switch and then connect the switch to one of the devices and it will bridge all those devices onto the WIFI network. No additional configuration needed, just plug in and go. In my media center, I have a switch with up to 7 other devices plugged into it. I'm using port 8 on the switch to uplink to one of these units and it's all working good. In another location on my home network, I have a 24-port switch with various computers, monitors, servers, a TV and more devices all plugged in and using one of these as my bridge and it's working fantastic. I will say I am using this system in AP mode, not router mode, as I prefer having a dedicated router in my network. You can use this completely stand-alone if you want to. After you configure the first device, the rest will go easy and you can run things the way you want to.
