Hello Ed.Vance!

Surely.. that would be easily found, it it existed. Maybe you  
misremember what the device was for.

So.. your idea is to feed BT from your phone, to the Router,  
and then feed eth to your laptop?

I think there have already been other (better/simpler)  
solutions mentioned here.

Just link your XP pc with wifi.  Give a try!  A few minutes of  
testing isn't going to be the major security concern that you  
imagine.

..because probably such a device for your specs/idea doesn't  
really exist?
