NETGEAR N300 as a Wireless Bridge

I have a printer with only a LAN connection, I need to connect it to my wifi network, please confirm if the NETGEAR N300 Universal Wi-Fi Booster  ( EX2700-100UKS ) can be configured as a wifi Bridge to connect wifi to the ethernet connection.

 

I am aware the device can be setup as a Access Point, but that's opposite to my needs, unless in that mode it will work as a bridge.

 

Thanks in advance

    When the EX2700 is in extender mode, it's LAN port will extend ethernet.  So this will do what you need.  It will also extend your wifi network, but of course you can ignore that network name.

     

    N300 isn't very fast, but it is cost-effective, and should give enough performance for printing.
