Using a router as a network card
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16833124190
Could I use that to receive the wireless connection from my current wireless router, and then send it via ethernet to three computers in my room? I have a PC, mac, and Linux box and i want them all conected without having to buy 3 cards or run the internet through one computer into the other two. |

No, you need a wireless bridge or a wireless access point that can be configured as a bridge. You will need that and an inexpensive 4 or 5 port switch. You have to get a device that is compatible with your router, different brand interaction is not guaranteed.
