Hi Allan, The one I was hoping to try is with my step-daughter who no longer uses it as she has a wifi modem. But I think it is about 2 years old. I need something that will receive the WiFi signal then use an Ethernet Cable to feed to the DVD Recorder. I am not sure if an AE is built to do this ? And if it is how to set it up ?
