BrosTrend Ac1200 Ethernet-2-Wifi Universal Wireless Adapter For Printer

We needed a wireless bridge more than this extender. Needed to take an ethernet signal from a camera and transmit that over wifi. While this product does convert a non-wifi device to connect to wifi, the problem i has was the need to ‘talk’ to the camera. This device will connect to your wifi just fine, but the connection between this device and the end product (in my case, the camera) is a unique ip address over the ethernet connection. For a printer or a tv that would not be a problem. But the camera ip needs to be ‘found’ over the network and this device prevented that. It does look like it works just fine for a non-wifi printer that has ethernet. It was just not ‘smart’ enough for my needs.

I got this to aid my smart tv that was not getting a strong enough signal to stream from the internet, so i straight linked it with a ethernet cable. Now can streamline internet movies again with super smooth lag free picture. I would have given it a 5 star but the device gets super hot. So the way we are working with it is we just unplug it when we are not using the tv to watch off the internet. The device is awesome cause once we plug it back in it only needs a couple of min to reconnect to the wifi and once both lights turn blue the tv is ready to go once again. The device comes with a piece of paper with a link to a how to video that is easy to follow and within a couple of min we had the device set up and working. Now looking to purchase more for the different rooms in the house were a more direct link by ethernet would improve performance. Have not used it for a room booster of signal so not sure how well that works but direct point is well worth it with this device. Just don’t leave it plugged in log cause it does get hot.

I needed to find a usb wifi adapter for my multimedia pc when i upgraded the sound card to a pcie style card and my older pc (about 8 years old) only had 1 pcie slot on the motherboard, which was formerly occupied by a dual channel pcie wifi card. Com for usb wifi adapters, and this external device uses channels a and c for the 5g channel, which worked perfectly because our router supports a,c, and n for 5g. The usb device also supported the flavor of encryption that our other devices using the router use, so it was a perfect fit for our existing wifi hardware, and was on sale to boot for our amazon prime membership. I found it easy to install, without needing to contact technical support, and in my opinion, was a great value for the money. In fact, it works better than the previous pcie wifi card that it replaced, with very few dropouts and a much more reliable connection to our router than the previous card experienced. I highly recommend this device for anyone with a pc needing a usb format wifi card. From my experience with it, i don’t believe you will be disappointed.

I just moved into an new home and bought a pair of these as a stopgap until i can get my wired network installed to my office and av area. I’m using them as bridge repeaters to connect to switches to support wired ethernet devices. I have a ubiquiti unifi uap-lr which covers the entire house, patio and out to the street. I have two unifi uap-ac_lite and a unifi ap-ac-lr. I left the ac’s at my previous house as i was setting up my new one. Brought the unifi uap-lr with the idea that it was a fill-in until i got most stuff moved over and then i’d swap the three ac’s for the 2. Well the ac-lr is working so well propped up under a desk that i may just sell the ac’s. I brought over the unifi ac lr and these things rock as inputs to wired switches.

I bought this several weeks ago to connect an ethernet-only laser printer i’d moved away from my router. (by the way, best inexpensive b&w laser printer ever: samsung ml-3312nd. ) i hadn’t installed it yet because i was waiting for an opportunity when i had what i assumed would be the prodigious amount i’ve time i would need to make it work. And last night, i finally bit the bullet and set to it. I followed the instructions on the one-page set-up sheet, and within 10 minutes, successfully printed. It wasn’t immediately apparent that the installation worked–the ‘in-progress’ set-up screen disappeared from my mac while i was out of the room for a moment. Steeling myself for a tedious troubleshooting routine, i figured i’d just try to print first before digging into wifi and print settings. To my amazement, the document immediately came out of the printer. Note: i had previously set up the printer with a wired connection to my router, and had used it for years from my mac, so my network and devices ‘knew about’ it. It was a little miraculous, though, that my computer found the printer through the router-extender bridge with no confusion.
