Use ADSL Router as a Access Point
Here is a scenario, I have my internet connection from my neighbor and the router they have isn't a wireless one. I have an Ethernet connection to my room. But I want to have an wireless Access Point so that I can use my Android Device and my Roku. But alas, I don't have a wireless Acess Point. So what I did was used my ADSL router which had a wireless interface as an Access Point. And this made a Wireless Hotspot for me that I could use with my Android Device and Roku. :)
So how to do that? Login to your ADSL Router and disable DHCP. Another thing you need to do is set a IP for the router. For example my the main router has IP 192.168.1.1 so I put my router to be of IP 192.168.1.2 And now what I need to do is connect the Ethernet Connection to LAN Port of the my Router. Viola, now it works perfect. And it should work for you.
In addition I did setup a wireless Key for my Router to make it secure. You better set a Key for your Router too.
