VONETS VAP11G-300 WiFi Bridge 2.4GHz WiFi to Ethernet Convert/WiFi Repeater/Point to Point with RJ45 Male DC/USB Powered for PLC IP Camera Printer Medical Devices Network Devices

Works just fine as a bridge. You need to make sure to disable hotspot when setting up. The Vonet device will show up in the router, but it appears to have no impact on host function. I tested proxmox with virtual adapters and truenas and they worked just fine. I have only had it running a day, but will update if something weird starts occuring.

A little confusing on the set up but plenty of YouTube videos to get you through it. Used this to put my Cummins home generator on my WiFi. Works like a charm 40 feet away through a brick wall.

I started around 9pm Sunday trying to get this hooked up to my Internet and non wireless printer to use as a bridge/client. Chat GPT was helping me because the video was useless. There was no narration and the video was going to fast for me to follow. After everything, I looked at the Ethernet end of the cable that is hardwired to the device and it only had 3 wires attached. I understand there needs to be at least 4 to work. I wasn't familiar enough with how to set up a bridge to know when I was doing something wrong or when I was doing things right and chat TPT is like a 7 year old with infinite knowledge that can only access some of it at a time. It seems like chat GPT was getting me into more trouble. But through the night we figured out that there might be something wrong with the printer port or the device because we figured it was getting a good Wi-Fi signal. Anyway my time is worked a lot and for me to spend 10 hours trying to figure out one little stupid device only to find out that it's defective doesn't make me feel very happy about the whole situation. I ended up getting another product same day delivery and got that installed in like 5 minutes. it took a lot less time mainly because of the education I got the previous night.

I’m pretty tech savvy and this product works very well but the setup was a little confusing. Beyond that it works very well has a pretty decent range. Had to factory reset once because I accidentally turned the WiFi extender off. But overall great product for the money and if you’re not tech savvy just read the instruction manual twice before you get started. 👍🏼

The set up took a little bit of work, but after 30 mins i was up and running! The signal is actually better than using my Ethernet cable. My only wish is that there was something that i could use to attach this to the computer. But other than that, it’s perfect.

My low review score is not due to it being a bad product, but due to lack of control of its abilities.What it comes with is, the device.. Pretty much that is about it.. A small useless manual, but if you know what you are doing, then you will never need to look at it. You do need your own power source though. You can power it through the USB port, which I am sure most people have an extra USB power adapter from a cell phone around.. Or, if like me.. I had a router that used one of those round plugs.. It actually was the same exact size, voltage, and at least as many amps as what I needed for this. Since I was not using the router any more, I just used that power cord to plug into the plug that is on the device, right next to where the cords come out. You have your own choice of which one you want to use. You do not need to use both though.I have a cell wifi adapter. It is a "ZTE Warp Connect" from Sprint. The ZTE Warp does not give you control over what WiFi channels it uses.. By default, it used channel 7 and 11 at first, then 3 and 7 next time I checked. By default, this device uses the exact same 2 channels.. My guess is, this device uses one channel to connect to the source device, the ZTE in this case, and the other to send a signal out to other things for you to connect to it.. That is why I wish I had more control over what channels either one of them uses.What I do like is the fact that I can take a WiFi connection, and turn it into a wired connection using this device. I had a local cable company for internet service, and they got too expensive after they bought out my old company. After they did, they raised prices.. I found a service that was a fraction of the cost, but lower speeds, and it went through a cell tower instead. But I still needed to connect my wired computers to that service. To that point, this device worked great. Not only that, but since it is a repeater too, it expands the coverage for me so I can use it at the back of the house, with a good connection too. Basically, it fit both of my needs with one inexpensive device.When I first set this device up, for some reason, it did not connect with my ZTE device very well. I had to reboot them both to get it to connect right. Ironic thing was, I never had any problem with connecting to the ZTE at that time with a laptop or my cell phone. I am not sure if it was this device, or the ZTE that was as fault though. Either way, once I got them working, they stayed working for quite a while. Then after about 3 weeks of use, I started getting glitchy service through it. I just rebooted both devices, and have not had any problem since.. Again, I am not sure if it was this device or the ZTE at fault there either.Overall, so far, I am happy with it. It has met all my needs, with no problem. and the price is reasonable too. I have only used it for about 2 months so far, but so far, I am happy with it. I gave it 3 stars due to limited control over some parts of its settings, and, because I had a small problem getting it to connect to my WiFi, and I did have to reboot it once.. But, not knowing if it was this device at fault, or the ZTE, I can not say for sure, so take that into account.

I'm using this on a Raspberry pi 5. I put the pi in an Argon ONE v3 M.2 NVME case. I love the case, but it attenuated the wifi signal badly. Much worse than the Argon ONE M.2 SATA case I have for one of my pi 4s. This bridge solved the problem, I now get a great connection. I just plugged the bridge into a 5V USB power supply and plugged the ethernet connection into the pi. I then turned off the wifi on the pi by clicking on the wifi icon on the bottom right of the screen (using Raspberry pi OS). At this point, the instructions in the tiny manual looked a little confusing, but it turned out to be very simple to set up. I just pointed the browser on the pi to 192.168.254.254 and logged in using the supplied credentials. The setup wizard was easy and it was running in less than 5 minutes. It does take a while to boot if you disconnect the power, so don't be surprised by that.
