I have many devices in my house that use ethernet connection and would like to convert the pins of my ethernet ports into WIFI. I know i can just buy some cheap 30 dollar ethernet to WIFI box like the one IOGEAR makes but that would not be very fun. This would mean i have a box and a wire still sticking out the back of wired devices. Since i like to tinker with electronics i want to open each device and install a "wifi board" and connect it to the pins of the ethernet port from inside the devices. My question is i am seeing WIFI chips all over the place and some very cheap. Can i simply connect some pins to the ethernet or will this project be more complex? I see a lot of WIFI to serial boards but no ethernet to WIFI boards. If anyone knows where i can get this on the super cheap let me know. Or if not perhaps i can get some plans to build my own? I am hoping an expert can help me on this one....
