How can I convert WiFi to Ethernet?
I need to convert WiFi signal to Ethernet. What device do I need to so that? I will be using a Netgear 779S Fuse Mobile Hotspot which receives Sprint data and broadcasts WiFi. I want to receive...
EX6100 can receive WiFi and output Ethernet. There's a speed cost of about a third, but since I'm starting with such a fast (Netgear 699 Hotspot) connection, I can afford to lose some speed. So that's the answer.
Dear Wstyle1,
Thanks so much for getting back to me. I'd love to buy the cradle! (It's AirCard Desktop Cradle (DC110A) according to the Netgear web site (http://www.netgear.com/home/products/mobile-broadband/hotspots/779S-sprint.aspx?cid=wmt_netgear_organic#tab-accessories)
But here's the problem: Netgear won't sell it - tech support says go to Sprint to buy one. I did and was told it was only available on the Sprint web site. Wrong again. I talked to someone in telesales and they'd never heard of the device. They guy was very nice and looked it up and said he'd love to have one himself, but had no idea. So apparently it's a device that has no home. If you have any hint for me where to find one, I'd appreciate it very much!
I had one more "chat" with Netgear and was told that the EX6100 has an ethernet port on the side that has the repeated signal which sounds exactly like what I want so I've ordered one.
But I sure would love to find a DC110A cradle!
Best wishes,
Smokey
