Brings WIFI to old-fashioned "tethered" Ethernet devices
598638
Not every gadget can be updated with a WIFI-USB dongle and through its CLIENT MODE, it brings WIFI to old-fashioned Ethernet devices. There are some pitfalls (the N300 may have similar DCHP issuehttps://www.amazon.com/review/R3M0N2PLQLGDB6/ref=cm_cr_dp_title )
In my setup I am now assigning all IPs statically and that solved the problems. Connecting the N300 to a Ethernet switch allowed multiple devices (I use static IPs) to get access to WIFI

There is a slightly cheaper 150MBit version (N150) that is sufficient for a single 100MBit Ethernet connection -- I picked the N300 with the higher performance in hope of better reception (2 antennas) and the better 300MBit throughput when in BRIDGE-MODE. For true GigE performance I still use cables.

Thanks to PoE (Power over Ethernet) you can place this box & antennas without having to route the extra power-cable

This makes it easy. Plug into android tablet and now you have a hard wired connection for Ethernet. Reactory Factory uses it at their kid concerts to control their digital XR-12 mixer from a hard wired Android tablet. Wireless doesn't always work well in a venue so BobJGear comes to the rescue!

Easy to set up.  Used the web set up and worked fine.  I like to use the wired ethernet connection to send it to a switch so I can supply a few wired devices around the entertainment system down stairs.  With my particular location in the house, I have better rates achieved with this device than a powerline adapter.  Seems like it should be the other way around, but it has to do with my particular wiring setup.  I'd recommend this to anyone who wants a simple way to extend their wi-fi network around their house.  Good reliability so far after a couple months of use.

I purchased this device to act as a repeater in my girlfriend's mother's condo apt --- another situation where the cement condo walls prevented good wifi from hitting every room. So i plugged it into the wall, plugged it into my laptop, went to the IP of the router, 45 seconds in the wizard, and BAM!

internet in the guest bedroom for when i'm visiting.

Works wonderful for those of us that might be lacking a Ethernet port. Compatible with most devices.

just buy from osxwifi.com. it;s a bit expensive but works great.

I have a Canon ImageCLASS MF6590 printer, which has Ethernet but no WiFi.  It prints very well--near professional quality; so I hate to discard it.  In the past I have had moderate success connecting it to an Ethernet port on my router using a Cisco Linksys PLTK300 Powerline Network Kit.  However, communications was sometimes intermittent--often not working for days--only later to print everything in one big stack of paper.

This WiFi to Ethernet Adapter (WNCE3001) provides a far better connection to the printer--and at lower cost.

However, the PLTK300 Powerline Kit has a big advantage over this device: it connects up to FOUR co-located Ethernet devices at once to the internet.  I used one to connect to a Blu-Ray player, an HD-DVD player AND a printer.  I reclaimed that functionality by inserting a 5-port Ethernet switch between this WNCE3001 and the printer--and  then connected the players to the switch.  They ALL worked!

Incidentally, the DVD players can use DHCP but the printer needs a fixed IP (my computers got confused trying to print to a changing IP).  This WiFi to Ethernet Adapter handles both fixed IP and DHCP well--and simultaneously.

Seamlessly extended my ability to add more wired devices. Note this is an unmanaged switch.

Great product to extend your Wi-Fi network signal.

I have on of the $35 Raspberry Pi computers that has Ethernet but not WiFI but it has 2 USB ports. And this device gives me WiFi, on the other port I have my wireless keyboard and mouse.

I'd held off buying this dongle for my Panasonic TV for a few years, because the ethernet connection I had worked well for me. Now that the price has become more realistic and I now have other WIFI devices that this could enable access the TV wirelessly, I somewhat cautiously decided to pick this up. It was unbelievably simple to install, even though the auto-install wouldn't work. The manual install worked on the first attempt & almost seems to operate faster than the wired connection. Great product!

This is a handy device to add another wired GbE port to a device that only has room for a wifi card. The caveat is that this needs realtek drivers which for some OSs and hypervisors is plug and play, have run into some bios/motherboard/hypervisor combos where some plug and pray is needed beyond simply loading a driver...

If you need to periodically hardwire a laptop that doesn't have an ethernet plug in - this is for you.  Example - updating firmware on a wireless router - they always want you to plug in.

This tiny little device is perfect for allowing old desktops that I work on to connect to my wifi hotspot. I haven't tested it with a home network but that isn't why I bought it.

Never had a lot of luck with these type of devices, but when I bought this one, I had something slightly different in mind.

I actually intended to use it to "create" a wired connection for a PC in a corner of my house that never had good WiFi signal.  We have an aging Linksys e4200 v1 that seems to fluctuate a bit around the edges of its coverage.  In essence, I set the N300 up as a range extender (just used the wizard) and plugged the ethernet port on my PC into the ethernet port on the Range Extender.

Worked great! 20u/20d mbps on speedtest, which is better than I got in that corner with any other solution (no, I haven't ponied up for long-range AC yet).  It'll even stream HD off of my NAS, which definitely leaves me grinning.

What got interesting, is when I got bored and was dinkering around one day and connected my phone to it instead of the e4200, even though I was sitting next to the e4200.  The signal and speed turned out to be pretty darn comparable, so now it's our "daily driver" SSID.

Of course, that means that any "wireless handoff" you may have thought to expect between this device and your current router is pretty much nonexistent.  For us at least, it doesn't hand off at all, you have to manually switch SSID, even if you're on the router and go move right next to the extender (~50' and half a dozen walls and a microwave between them).  You just get rotten signal till you manually switch.

Easy to use, install, and connect. I recommend it.

great- fit and forget. Enables ethernet outlet for legacy devices where none exists. one end connects to WIFI (wireless of course), the other end to ethernet.
