  1. Ethernet to wifi adapters... they still exists?


    Hello,

    sorry it's not strictly related to Win 10 but this forum Always solve my issues so... please help.

    I am looking for an adapter that allows a device that is only ethernet to connect to a wifi router.

    This look easy but I totally misunderstand why I find only repeaters, extenders with that function that I want, but not ONLY the function that I want.

    I don't want any extension of my wifi, or another SSID in the house, I only want a device that is ethernet to be connected to the main wifi router.

    I absolutely cannot find something like that.

    I hope that thing exists, once I see one that worked for a smart tv without wifi, and that one was not a repeater or a bridge, it was only a client wireless for an ethernet output.

    Please HELP.

    :)

  2. Change priority on network adapters without disabling any network adapter

    I am using Windows 10.

    Sometimes, I would like to use Ethernet for accessing resources on local area network and WiFi for internet. My WiFi network is actually my phone's tethered WiFi (I use my phone's internet). And, I always connect to the WiFi network later than Ethernet.

    I had set static interface metric for both my ethernet adapter and WiFi adapter. The WiFi adapter's interface metric is set to lower than the ethernet adapter's interface metric. But, this doesn't work until I disable and re-enable the ethernet adapter.
    Before I disable the ethernet adapter, Windows and all other installed software will still use the ethernet adapter for internet. I have to disable and re-enable the ethernet adapter to make all software use my WiFi network for internet.

    After reboot my computer, I always connect to ethernet first, then connect to WiFi later, and I would like to keep this way.

    So, since I had set static metric for both my ethernet adapter and WiFi adapter, how can I make Windows and all other software use WiFi for accessing internet by default,
    without disable and re-enable my ethernet adapter?

  3. Wireless Adapter disappeared after windows 10 upgrade

    Does this work if both the Ethernet & wifi adapters are missing? I know it works as long as the Ethernet adapter is still visible.... any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

    Hello Pipppero, *Smile

    If this device is a PC that has a USB port, then you could get and use a USB WiFi adapter to connect wirelessly to the router.

    Here's an example: USB WiFi Adapter | AC1200 (A6210) | NETGEAR

    I've only worked with Wireless Routers that also had 4 Ethernet ports plus the Uplink port for connecting to a Modem. Some ISPs provide a Modem [such as Cable/Broadband] that also has the Ethernet ports and Wi-Fi capability, our church uses two such devices. Personally I use a Wireless Router plus an 8-port Switch to accommodate my needs, Ethernet to workbench, 5 Desktops, 2 printers and 2 NAS drives plus on occasion any number of Wireless Notebooks, Tablets, wife's Kindle, etc.

    A bridge is a standard term in networking for a device that links to different types of network transport, It's not classed as a router as it makes the connection on the same Network, whereas the router links two different networks such as a LAN and a WAN, or Lan to Lan (different segments )

    Windows actually has it's own ability to bridge connections - If you have a Wireless and Ethernet connection on the same system it's possible to use both together to improve capacity (bandwidth) to the router. It can also be used to convert a PC into a router/ Wireless Router if the two connections are bridged when connected to different networks

    Just came across this which may be of help to anyone looking at using this device CV-7428nS_Manual_v1_r4.pdf

  11. Hello,
    still need your help.

    I have an old device with only ethernet that needs fixed IP and that needs to be connected to a wifi router.
    I solved the problem with an ACCESS POINT configured as CLIENT.

    But I am still in doubts.

    I gave to the device the fixed IP 192.168.1.50.
    I gave to the ACCESS POINT the fixed IP 192.168.1.50 (the same).

    So I gave to the two devices the SAME IP.

    Sometimes in the device's display there is "conflict IP" message and I have to shut off the both, or sometimes in a PC of the LAN there is another "conflict IP", it's only in one machine and I need to reboot that machine.

    This means that when the device is connected to the AP, if I run 192.168.1.50 I will get the interface of the device (it's an old printer), while, if the device is NOT connected to the AP if I run 192.168.1.50 I will get the interface of the AP.

    It is normal that? Too use the SAME IP on the device and on the AP set to CLIENT MODE? Or I am doing wrong?

    This device creates a physical network between itself and the device to which it is connected. This represents an IP network address scheme. It then connects wireless to your Wi-Fi network and gets an IP address from your wireless router. You can think of this device as a mini-router between the two network environments.

    The router configured as the access point, and the computer should NOT have the same IP address. No two devices accessible by an IP address on the same subnet should have the same IP address.
