Connect wired-only devices to a remote wireless access point?
- by billpg
Hi everyone.
In building A, I have a Netgear wireless access point using WPA2. Works great, no problems.
In building B, I have some devices that only have wired Ethernet ports. They can't see my access point.
What I need is a gizmo that connects over-the-air to my access point in building A, talks WPA2, and converts the packets to and from a wired Ethernet port.

Wireless bridge device <-- Looking for this.
(Cat5 ethernet)
My devices in building B.
I've looked for devices on Amazon, but the descriptions are infuriatingly unclear. It says it supports WPA2, but does it support it as a client? Grrr...
Any recommendations please?
