VONETS WiFi Bridge 2.4GHz Wireless Ethernet Bridge Signal Repeater WiFi Hotspot RJ45 to WiFi Convert for DVR, Monitoring, IP Printer, Network Device VAP11G-300 with Power Supply Adapter

I am so excited! I am working from home now during the pandemic, and I set up some backup systems in place just to make that it goes as uninterruptedly as possible such as having a Jackery for backup power and putting some extra GB on my cell phone plan in case my home internet goes down. The one weakness of my setup was that the VOIP Cisco 8841 phone supplied by the company could not connect wirelessly. Sure enough, there was an internet outage at my home Friday, and I had to have coworkers take over my call responsibilities. No more! This morning I configured this in less than 5 minutes to the WIFI from my cell phone used as a hotspot. I just plugged the ethernet cable into the port on my laptop and easily followed the configuration instructions which were little more than going to the address in the instruction booklet and selecting the name of my hotspot network. I unplugged my router from my phone's power injector and plugged this into the power injector in its place. My phone recognized it was online and let me log in and make a call. Now I could theoretically work from anywhere my cell phone can get a signal! I powered the unit by plugging its USB lead into a small power bank for convenience. The lead from the AC adapter is short though you could always use it with USB extension if desired. There is also a hole that looks like it is where the power should go, but I didn't need and have not figured out how to use that. So you can imagine how easy this is to configure if I am no brighter that that! Also, I just unplugged it for about 15 minutes, and when I plugged it back in, it remembered its configuration. What a helpful device in these trying times!

I have had three of these in service now for more than a year. I use them for VoIP phones where there is no wires, and as client devices plugged into a switch to allow a small workgroup to be connected where there is no network connection to the area.Works very well, and trouble-free. The flashing lights are a bit annoying in the bedroom, but with a bit of creativity, you can get a bit of peace and quiet from the lights. (DONT cover the vents)The manual is slightly better than average for this type of product, and the manufacturer still provides firmware updates over the internet which is a boon and unusual.Not only would I buy it again, I just did for a new project, and its working great.

I spent an entire day trying to get this to work. Just for reference, I am pretty good with technology. I can make almost anything work - and I gave this everything I had. I read web articles, watched YouTube videos, and when all else failed, I did a ton of trial and error. My MacBook Pro would not connect to the device's configuration page - at all. I finally booted up an old Windows 7 machine and got that to connect. Sometimes - and even this was wildly unreliable. Sometimes it would connect, sometimes it wouldn't. Once I got it to connect to the hotspot - same thing. Sometimes it would connect, sometimes it wouldn't. Sometimes it would have okay speed. Sometimes it had next to no speed at all - but once it was connected to a hotspot, the configuration page became even more unreliable, so trying to figure out what went wrong was usually a complete guess. It was so finicky that I finally decided to just return it and be done with it. Also, it cannot connect at speeds above 100 Mbps. Normally that wouldn't be a problem, because this thing isn't likely to exceed those speeds, but one of my other devices will only connect at speeds of 1Gbps and above - and that happens to be the device that I was hoping to use with this. But I finally figured out a way around this obstacle, but the unreliability was a deal breaker in the end. Nobody could say I didn't try!

I bought one of these as a way to test a wireless network in an industrial setting. Machines run along a rail while staying connected to a wireless network. The machines have their own hardware to make a wifi bridge to their internal network, but we wanted to rule that out as the cause of our problem by trying a different device.After the testing was complete, I brought the device home to play with. It does what it's advertised to do, however...The web interface isn't great, it feels like it was translated by someone who was not a native English speaker, things aren't were you'd expect them to be, and you sometimes find yourself questioning what something actually does because of the way it's worded.At the end of the day, it does what it's advertised to do. If you want a "set it and forget it" wireless bridge, this will work for you. It's slow by today's standards, but for something that doesn't need a ton of bandwidth, it will work. Don't use this to connect a workstation or a network segment with multiple devices to a wireless network. It will be a bottleneck.I do like the form factor. I bought some of those adhesive strip magnets and cut them to fit the footprint of the device. I can now just stick it to any metal surface and it doesn't stick out.

I needed a simple WiFi to Ethernet adapter for my "smart," high-end Oppo Blu-ray player. The original, proprietary WiFi stick was accidentally broken off at the connector, and since Oppo is effectively out of business in the United States, but the unit does have an Ethernet jack, I needed something to capture my router's WiFi signal and convert it to a standard Ethernet connection on my network that is reasonably fast for streaming video etc.Finally, after failing with two previous devices of similar description, the 3rd unit that I bought (I went cheap for the first two), the Vonets came through like a champ!Unfortunately the instructions are a bit wonky but fortunately there are several detailed descriptions in the reviews plus some YouTube videos to help set it up. You'd think this kind of adapter would be popular but it is not easy to find the right thing based on most of the descriptions of these types of devices. This one does the trick.RECOMMENDED!
