Use this.

It's a WiFi to Ethernet bridge. So, you don't have to change a thing on your traveling WiFi setup. All you need to do is configure the bridge for the foreign WiFi in question, hook it up to the WAN port on your router, and it'll work exactly the same as if you plugged into a foreign wired connection.

Something like this would work. Just look for something cheaper.

To clarify the last part:

LTE Hotspot -> Bridge(1) -> ERX (2) -> LAN

(1) https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-Universal-Ethernet-Adapter-WNCE2001/dp/B003KPBRRW

(2) https://www.ubnt.com/edgemax/edgerouter-x/

You could then go:

LAN -> Wired -> UAP-AC-Pro <---Wireless---> UAP-AC-Pro (Outside)

NOTE: The only reason I mentioned the Pro is because it is weather resistant. They also have the AC-Lite which would work fine on a LTE WAN, but it isn't weather resistant.

u/kdingo · 2 pointsr/HomeNetworking

I'm interpreting this as: I have an Ethernet-only device that is a far ways from the router. Instead of running a long ass cable can I have it go over wireless somehow?

If that's accurate you are looking something like this. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003KPBRRW

If you also want your device to be internet-facing with a public IP, look into setting up that device in a DMZ.

u/half_robinhood · 2 pointsr/AskReddit

So you can use a wireless bridge to not have to use an ethernet cable all the way across.

Look at link below

http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Wireless_Bridge

Basically what it does is, it will connect wirelessly to your AP and then give you LAN/ethernet ports to use locally

So for your TV you can buy something like this

http://www.amazon.com/Netgear-WNCE2001-Universal-Internet-Adapter/dp/B003KPBRRW/ref=tag_dpp_lp_edpp_ttl_ex


The first link I mentioned would be definitely cheaper but will involve tinkering with software installed on the Router/Access Point

Also do you live in an apartment complex? Maybe there is too much interference around you? (I mean too many wireless networks)

So if that i the case buy something which supports 802.11a or 5.2GHz 11n, and not just 2.4GHz n.

Is your PS3 wireless enabled? If yes then maybe 802.11a/5.2gHz is not a good option.

PM or send me a message and i will try to help you out...just make a list of all you want to get connected....and do not buy that device I posted a link about, this just an example to show it is possible to do that. But I would rather buy somethign which would let me connect more then one device, this one only allows one...

Also for online gaming wireless WILL suck...so remember that too

u/magnumfunk · 2 pointsr/computers

yes I agree, just make sure the router is supported by going to the site first
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices
Depending on your knowledge of these methods of flashing router software..

Otherwise
here is an option https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-Universal-Ethernet-Adapter-WNCE2001/dp/B003KPBRRW

and also there are Wifi-USB dongles/ Adapters which would be the cheapest easiest option

u/byrd798 · 2 pointsr/PS3

For wifi try this. The controls on the other hand you may be out of luck. I know some after market controls come with a dongle. As well as I think some pc controllers would work.

u/MorningZ · 2 pointsr/Hue

This would allow you to connect to the WiFi provided by the community router

u/SeaCowManatee · 1 pointr/hometheater

When is the best time to buy receiver? What time of the year?

I just found out that I have to buy wifi adapter separately from the receiver. Then that is technically 229.00 from receiver and 45.20 from the adapter. Total of 274.20. Should I avoid this and just get a built in receiver?

Why not look to something like this - http://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-Universal-Ethernet-Adapter-WNCE2001/dp/B003KPBRRW

I had one of these, and connected it to a 5 port switch and it worked just fine, and it also allowed me to still have deviced connected with ethernet. For instance I lived in an old victorian house with shitty circuits, so instead of powerline I had WiFi setup in the house, but I couldnt drill for ethernet, so I used this and then set it up with a switch for my xbox, laptop, and desktop. For the most part it was stable ! Additionally there are newer ones that they offer now to that support N600/N900 !

u/0110010001100010 · 1 pointr/HomeNetworking

You should be able to use something like this: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B003KPBRRW/

Then just get a small switch and you are ready to rock.

u/PM-ME-D_CK-PICS · 1 pointr/HomeNetworking

Get a pci-e card.

Or

I have one of these and it works great:

u/adremeaux · 1 pointr/p4u

The PS3 wireless card is a piece of shit. Period. And I'm pretty sure they fucked it up worse in 4.2, because mine started fucking up recently too after being serviceable (but still crappy) in the past.

I bought a wireless bridge to fix it. I couldn't stand it anymore. I've got a solid 30mbps connection in my house, but my PS3 could barely manage 2mbps even if I put it down right next to the router. My laptops, a room further from the router than the PS3, manage full strength with no problem.

A wireless bridge is basically a wireless card that outputs its signal via ethernet. In other words, you can plug your PS3 into the bridge via ethernet and treat it as a wired connection. The one I got is pretty good; it's not perfect (wow, I can't believe I paid $50 for that fucking thing. A moment of weakness for sure). It supports Wireless-N, but it doesn't support 4.8ghz. My router is dual-band, however I have the N on 4.8ghz and a G signal on 2.4ghz as a fall back. So basically, it's only running on Wireless G, which means it's only getting about 17mbps of the 30. It's enough, really, but it kind of pisses me off.

If you only have Wireless G at home, you can probably find a bridge for more like $30 or so.

EDIT! Just noticed your connection is only 3/.5. That speed won't really be limited by the PS3's wireless card very much. Maybe the P4A netcode just sucks for slow connections.

u/mrdwarf13 · 1 pointr/sysadmin

I saw something similar a year or so ago with a Netgear WiFi to Ethernet adapter a user had started using on an imbedded device. On packet captures we found it was returning address in use for every new IP request (about 2 per minute). Unplugged it and cleared all of the "used" leases from the DHCP server and was back up and running quickly.

If I remember correctly this was the model causing issues for us:

u/brwtx · 1 pointr/VOIP

I am generally opposed to VOIP over wireless. However, in the past I have setup a lot of wifi voip phones from Snom, Grandstream and some "whitebox" manufacturers and the users have generally been happy with them.

So, as long as you are aware that I believe you will end up having call quality issues at some point. Easiest method is to Buy one of these. Second easiest is to find an old wireless router that supports DD-WRT, install that and set it to AP Client mode. Third is going to be going through the various Windows utilities or trying to setup Internet Connection Sharing on your Windows laptop.

Or (!), see if your company has a license for the Altigen Max Communicator which is a software IP phone you can run on your desktop. Set that up, plug in a pair of good headphones, and use that as your phone.

u/I-represent-america · 1 pointr/BitcoinMining

Alright, you could buy a WiFi to Ethernet adapter! http://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-Universal-Ethernet-Adapter-WNCE2001/dp/B003KPBRRW They are about $30 and you can use an Ethernet hub for multiple miners. You can also use an old laptop with an Ethernet, connect it to your wifi, connect Ethernet, and bridge so the wifi goes through your Ethernet.

u/thomas533 · 1 pointr/cordcutters

I was really confused at first when I read your post because I use my WD TV Live on my wireless network for Netflix all the time. And then I realized that the old WD TV players didn't have wireless. That sucks.

If you don't want to get a new media box, you could get a wireless bridge that would make the old WD TV work on your wireless network.

u/SyrioForel · 1 pointr/techsupport

You can set this up yourself by creating a bridge, etc, etc... or you could buy a pre-set adapter that requires no configuration at all. Many different companies sell these. They usually have just one button -- WPS -- which, for compatible wireless routers, will sync up your network password and establish the connection automatically, etc, so there's no need to mess around with any software, control panels, or anything else.

Here's one such model, out of many:

http://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-WNCE2001-Universal-Internet-Adapter/dp/B003KPBRRW

Customer reviews for it look great, and the price is fairly low. Based on that, I myself would buy it.

u/Thaliur · 1 pointr/windows

I wanted to recommend this.

You connect it to your PC with an ethernet cable and a USB cable for power, and set up your network information through a web interface. Then you are connected to your wireless network as if you are using a cable. Depending on your computer, it can even speed up your connection, as it "outsources" the processing overhead of WLAN encryption, error correction and such.

I'm quite surprised that they are so expensive in the US, though. I bought mine a few months ago for less than 30€.

[edit] This seems to be very similar, and slightly cheaper.

u/humbled · 1 pointr/linuxquestions

A much better option for you is to NFS mount your /home. ajs124 is right, the PXE boot firmware tends to exist at a level before establishing a wireless connection is possible.

Since you're talking about app installation selection, there are other options you can layer in like Docker, that create a configuration and environment for apps.

If you really want to pursue PXE booting, have a look at home powerline networking, but read the reviews on smallnetbuilder or some such site, and learn about its caveats (for example, noise & interference, electrical circuits, real bandwidth, etc.).

Another hardware option is a wireless-to-wired hardware adapter, but I feel like that might be flaky.

u/xDARKFiRE · 1 pointr/techsupport

Thanks.

Netgear and others offer things like this:

However that is fairly expensive if you only use it now and again, you can however get wi-fi range extenders from many companies that have ethernet outputs on them, connect the device to the mobile hotspot then cable into a switch/computers

The other choice would be finding a router that accepts a sim card from your mobile provider, you can then have a proper router that connects to the mobile data from your provider and works exactly as a normal wifi router would. something like this

u/sourbeer51 · 1 pointr/networking

Understandable. I was thinking about getting one of these and then hooking it to a switch. Think that would work?
