These are made, they are usually called a "wireless bridge". For example, go look up "Linksys WET54G". The only problem is that these are sort of specialty items and cost more than a common router or

Maybe some of those self-drilling-self-tapping screws (with a tip that looks like a drill bit) would work? Or just accept the fact that you will wear out a bunch of drill bits? Doug

It sounds like a well-thought-out tool, but I do not see how it addresses any particular need you have. It definitely does not tell you if a battery is charged or not. Just keep your batteries trickl

It sounds like you might have a short circuit somewhere. Usually the flasher flashes too fast when it is overloaded. And the thing with the indicator lits is suspicous. Unfortunately, short circuits
