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 it sounds like your only issue would be money. If you were to get the WRT54G Linksys Wireless Router, I could walk you through the set up. I do it all the time. I can help you set up a WEP key to password it and stop neighbors/others from stealing your internet.
