Wireless adaptor

[nsr500rossi]

Running an Ethernet cable from my profilux 3 to the router is a bit of a pain for me.
Am I able to plug in a wireless adaptor into the profilux to comunicate with the router?
If yes, what kind will I need, can I use one of the cheap USB dongles?
I am on a mac running parallels, does this make any difference.
Also, I have my profilux all set up and working with the webserver, will I have to change all the settings
many thanks
mike

I think you are talking about a access point. WLAN-USB adapters won't work. The USB ports on ProfiLux are slave devices. They can only be connected to a PC.

Another solution is a PLM-WLAN card, if you want to conntect to ProfiLux Control. The web interface works only via the built in LAN port.

I was told by Matthias you can use a wireless bridge from the LAN port of the ProfiLux 3 such as a wireless game controller :confused:

The question was about connecting a WLAN-USB dongle on the ProfiLux USB port. This won't work.

If you connect the ProfiLux LAN port to a LAN to WLAN bridge this should work.

Any idea which one will work with a mac running parallels? I don't want to buy the wrong one

just use something like this:

you configure it over the network via the web interface... simple and works on any platorm.

Ok thanks guys

does anyone know a cheaper solution? you can buy a usb-dongle for about 20 euros; is there a something for the lan-port which is not as expensive as the linksys?

USB adapters do not work on the USB port and the USB port is not connected to the web server

I ended up getting a belkin one, price was £30
spent all day trying to set it up, managed to get it working twice upstairs, I would then unplug it and bring it downstars, plug it back in and then it stopped working.. Drove me nuts.. Gave up.
Ended up moving the main router from the hallway into the living room, plugging the ghl directly into the router then using my airport express in the hallway to extend the network upstairs.. All working like a dream now.. Thank god.
I can access my ghl from my iPhone and control it from my mac wirelessly upstairs.. Finally..

Great news :)

If your up to the challange many users would love a laymans guide to setting up wireless and also so ProfiLux can be viewed remotely ;)
