Title: Wireless to ethernet
Post by: FORDSBS on May 05, 2013, 10:36:48 PM
Does anyone know of a device like this. I have my router setup which is wireless with ethernet jacks. About 75 feet away I need a setup that will receive wireless signal that I can plug ethernet cable into.
Thanks for any help, Ford

Cisco WET610

This is known as an internet bridge.

I have used these to connect some wired printers to a wireless network in the middle of a shop where it is impractical to run a eithernet cable.

I think they're discontinued, although I'm sure there is a newer version on the market, but I own a ASUS WL-330gE -- it's a neat little box that can be used as an Access Point, Ethernet Adapter, Gateway or Universal Repeater, depending on how you set the thing up.  In one of its modes (Ethernet Adapter), it will do what you're looking for -- take a wi-fi signal and allow something with an ethernet port to connect via an ethernet cable.

Ford,

I know you are shopping for a wireless switch for your TITO Deluxe...just sit tight till we finish testing them.  Might save you some wasted money and headaches.  Our first switch worked but developed firewall issues so we just ordered another type that we think should work.

Had one of these that I thought would work. Guess it will only work for like printers & not work for a board to go thru router for internet.
What I have is a board that has to plug into router but my router is not close enough.

How about NETGEAR WNCE2001 Universal Wi-Fi Internet Adapter Wireless 802.11b/g/n Ethernet Port / Connect Wifi to LCD-TV, Game Console and Blu-ray Player. newegg.com has them for 45.00. I have used them with internet jukeboxes, and they have worked great
