So i have a device that does not except wireless connection to the internet.(only wired ethernet) So in order to obtain wireless internet i need to buy a wireless router and a bridge to pick it up, the only problem is thats quite costly. Also a potentioly hard time setting up. So i did some research and found Power Over Ethernet(POE) and it seems as if its used to prevent fires and whatnot, but i read that it can transfer data as well. So what i was wondering is if i could plug one POE to my device through a cable and another to my PC could i obtain wirless internet? not at the same time as my pc no, but it seems like it would work and would save me loads of cash.
anyone know if this is possible?

Yeah, if you're going to do anything, get the wireless router. It seems like the POE wouldnt give you fast enough of a connection. I set up a wireless router and hooked three different computers up to it over Christmas break. It's not that difficult to hook everything up to your main computer, but it's hell trying to connect your other computers to it. It's definitely worth the time and the money though.
