Ethernet wireless device: Has any one done this, if so, any recommendations?
154061
I was just about to post the same question. I really don't want to run an ethernet line over to the player. I've looked at wireless access points but they're not much cheaper than a full blown router. I'm starting to think I'll end up with another wireless router (with 4 or more ports) to use as a bridge to my existing wireless lan. I just really don't want to spend upwards of $100 just to get bdlive.

Update: This thread got me wired just now...Wireless is in the works. [ndiswrapper isn't so friendly to this one for some reason - perhaps I nabbed the wrong wireless driver..]http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7409939

You could use something like this. StarTech.com 10/100 VDSL2 Ethernet Extender Kit over Single Pair Wire - 1km which I found here on Amazon. The alternative is probably to find a fiber option but I am pretty sure this will be the more economical solution.

If you are highly tech-savvy you might be able to. You can contact the vendor for help. I ran Ethernet cables for both of mine because we had trouble getting a wireless connection to work reliably.

Theres pretty easy directions (to follow). I imagine if you're using it wired, you wont have some of the problems that other people (including myself) are having with its wireless properties. I'm going to retire mine and buy a wifi access point instead. So, basically, USED EDIMAX -7228APn for sale! From what you explained, however, all you really need is a switch http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-SF1005D-5-port-100Mbps-Desktop/dp/B000FNFSPY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393451147&sr=8-1&keywords=ethernet+switch for $10.

I did a wired ethernet setup first. Then I did the wireless. You need the mac addresses of the wireless devices to set them up. This is done so that outsiders can't get into your wireless setup and "steal" service via your router. I had to enter the mac addresses, optional description and other info manually. Choose to recognize these devices only. You will be able to test that there are connections for each one as you do them (if I remember correctly). You get to the manual setup via the web to your router IP address. Also, you can download the manual (if you don't have one) from Netgear as well as additional information that will provide helpful details. It is easy to do really. Just read up on it first. You can't hurt anything if you try and fail as long as you don't change your original setup to connect to your laptop. So, experimenting with, say, one device at a time will work okay.

Need to elaborate a little bit. I can only assume that you have Ethernet cable, usually call Cat5e Ethernet Patch Cable. If yes, you shouldn't have any problems connecting this and make it as a bridge wifi router, I assumed? if not, this device won't do any good for your need until you rewired with the right type of cable + connector.

It is connected via an ethernet cable (no wireless). Personally I bought a cheap wireless bridge ( http://www.amazon.com/Edimax-EW-7228APn-150Mbps-Wireless-Extender/dp/B005KN1YV6 ) and plugged the receiver and all my other internet-saavy A/V equipment into that. I figure I will never need to stream more than 1 of those devices at once so why not plug them into a single point.

I just plugged the device directly into the router with an Ethernet cable and it seems to do what I want it to do. I purchased a 25 ft. digital Optic cable so I could plug my PC into it to use my media player as a housewide juke box. Other than that, I don't see any reason for going wireless with it.

I have not tried this myself, but you may also want to look at powerline network adapters.

Yes. Wireless receiver works like a charm, just log in like usual, no ethernet wire! I got 300 Mps wireless.

You Are correct. I bought a USB wireless adaptor. The performance of this thing is well worth that little inconvenience. Very fast!

Hi Peter, This device can act as Wireless Ethernet Client, and in many cases there are more than just one Ethernet device that needs to be connected back to the wireless network. That's when the bonus LAN port comes in place. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate contacting ZyXEL's US-Based Technical support at 1.800.255.4101 Option# 5.

I am using a wi-fi extender that has an Ethernet port for connecting the R-N500. I had to move the extender a few feet to stop connection failures and it seems to work fine now.

It requires and Ethernet connection which I created by adding a wireless bridge to my setup. The wireless bridge takes the wireless signal and transfers it to a couple of Ethernet ports on the device. The device is pretty small and will cost you about $80. I bought the D-Link DAP1522 Xtreme 4-Port GigaBit Selectable Dual Band Draft 802.11n N Duo Wireless Bridge/Access Point
