Interesting question? I have not done that type of setup but if the ethernet converter is acting like a point to point host, then possibly yes as the device will appear on the network with an IP address. I don't know for certain but one could theoretically go USB->Ethernet->Wireless router-> Remote computer with wireless connection. All without running a long cable.

I should try that as we effectively use a ethernet to fibre media converter to send the data over the fibre network to the other end.

Maybe someone with some more wireless/routing experience could shed some light on this.
