BrosTrend Dual Band 1200Mbps WiFi Bridge, Convert Your Wired Device to Wireless Network, Works with Any Ethernet-Enabled Devices, WiFi to Ethernet Adapter with Standard RJ45 LAN Port, Easy Setup

works great. Everything I needed is now connected and working. Easy to use.

I'm still running an HP LJ 4050 from the late 1990s. It's a tank and I have enough toner cartridges to last the rest of my life. I am confident the printer will, as well. Unfortunately, it has no wireless capability. This was okay until I moved to a small apartment where I had to drag an ethernet cable across the floor every time I wanted to print. This device has solved that.The one slight negative is that the documentation doesn't make it exactly crystal clear just which mode is the WiFi extender and which is wireless-to-ethernet only. I'd also like to see an interface to shut down the WiFi extension part. I don't need it and it just clutters the airwaves and wastes energy to have it on.The other note I want to make is about the IP management. Because of the way the docs were written I was afraid that my fixed IP on the printer wouldn't work for some reason, that the device would try to NAT it or something weird if I didn't do a DHCP IP (which wouldn't work for me for reasons I won't get into). But those fears were unfounded: the printer printed a test page first time with its fixed IP. No problem.Good product. Make the features more controllable and the setup cleaner and clearer and it will be perfect.

This product is amazing! It took only 5 minutes to set up and works flawlessly with my internal network. I have legacy instrumentation running on XP operating systems, which don’t recognize USB Wi-Fi adapters but work fine with Ethernet cables. To avoid running cables from my server to these XP computers, I decided to try the BrosTrend device—and it exceeded my expectations.After setting it up with my internal wireless network, I simply plugged it into an XP computer using an Ethernet cable, and it connected automatically. I chose the 2.4 GHz band instead of 5 GHz since I wasn’t sure if XP would recognize the latter. The 2.4 GHz connection works perfectly, providing fast and reliable data transfer for files and images from my instrumentation.This product is a game-changer for my setup, and I’ll definitely be purchasing more for my other legacy instruments. Highly recommended!

As a network contractor I often running across non-WiFi devices -- receipt printers, TVs with broken WiFi adapters, etc. This device solves the problem. Installation is easy and Ethernet connection is stable. What the description doesn't make clear is that this unit is also a WiFi extender and transmits its own WiFi signal. (I suspect it was originally a WiFi extender that added an Ethernet port.) Great, huh? Well, it could be but if you don't want that capability, there's no way to disable it. You're just stuck with one more SSID floating out there. Not a huge problem but minus one star for lack of flexibility, especially in a commercial environment.

This is a solid and cheap little WiFi extender and 'ethernet to WiFi' adapter. Both WPS and WiFi GUI setup make this simple to get going.However, I looked at this as a way to boost the speed of my Xbox Series X WiFi, as the built-in adapter doesn't support gigabit WiFi. There is no way to disable the 'bridge' mode on this device, so it always acts as an extender even if you only need an ethernet to WiFi adapter. This slows the bandwidth significantly to about 100mbps in my testing. My Xbox on its own can get 200mbps with the built-in WiFi.Just a note for people who may be trying to use this device for the same purpose. I have nothing bad to say about it and will keep the device on hand for other projects. Older devices that only have ethernet will almost all benefit from a 100mbps connection to the internet.

The device stopped working in the first hour of use. It was configured correctly and working great, but suddenly stopped working and can no longer be connected to.The power LED remains off while plugged in. The power LED is supposed to remain on while the device is plugged in, so this is definitely a problem with the adapter.It cannot be reset, cannot be reconfigured, and unplugging/replugging does nothing. I hope they reach out to me to replace it, but I will leave this review online until they do. Right now, this device is an expensive paperweight.

This works great!

It does what it's supposed to do, but I find it quite irritating that I also have to double the number of networks in my house just to use this to plug a camera in.
