I would get another router that can handle dd-wrt and run it as a wireless bridge or extender. It would be easier 
But these are cheaper and don't require an extra plug socket (which i dont have :))
Since OMV is Debian Squeeze and the web interface doesn't support configuration of the wifi device, just google for a tutorial for Debian Squeeze for that wifi adapter.
Well, a Wifi expander would work 100% and mostly out of the Box. I would chose that way.

Zitat von "davidh2k"Well, a Wifi expander would work 100% and mostly out of the Box. I would chose that way.
That is what I recommended first but he says he doesn't have another outlet. I guess power strips are rare :lol:
A problem which is just a missing power strip/socket, is no problem for me.

It is for me when living with parents
Why would a wifi extender solve my problem as the WiFi adapter wouldnt work with OMV without going into the CLI?
WiFi strenght isnt the issue, its the wired speed thats my issue, hence why i wondered if a WiFi adapter would work with OMV.
A wifi extender connects to your wireless router and provides an ethernet port to the system. So, no drivers involved as the system thinks it is plugged directly into the switch/router.
So whats the problem with adding one of these, when living with your parents? : https://www.google.com/search?…0CCsQsAQ&biw=1280&bih=812
The Wifi adapter is not supported via the GUI. The Wifi bridge instead would be, the reason aaron explained to you.

Apologies i was thinking about the answer after i posted and it clicked in my head what you guys where trying to get over to me. :oops:
In theory its a good idea and could work, i'll see if work has one that i can loan to test before buying one
Thanks
I make wifi extenders with my old routers. With dd-wrt you can set them up to be a repeater bridge. They come in handy when you are building new machines too.
