I have purchased the WNCE3001 to attempt to get it to support devices that does not have WiFi but has a RJ45 internet jack. E.g. home monitoring, security, etc.
While I am able to make that work in an office and home environment, I was unable to use it in a "public" WiFi scenario e.g. xfinity WiFi, even if I have an account with Comcast and could securely log in via my laptop WiFi. Am I doing something wrong or is the product not able to connect via a "public" WiFi like xfinity.
The connection scenario I am thinking off is:
xfinity WiFi <--(via WiFi/802.11) --> WNCE3001 <--(connected CAT5E/RJ45)--> Home Monitoring hub (e.g. Prodea or Iris) <---(via WiFi/802.11/ZWAVE/BTOOTH etc.)---> Various devices (door sensors/cameras/power plugs etc.)
The home/office connection scenario that it works OK are:
xfinity Broadband (Home & Business class) <--(connected CAT5E/RJ45) --> xFinity Cable Modem <--(via WiFi/802.11) --> WNCE3001 <--(connected CAT5E/RJ45)--> Home Monitoring hub (e.g. Prodea or Iris) <---(via WiFi/802.11/ZWAVE/BTOOTH etc.)---> Various devices (door sensors/cameras/power plugs etc.)
If the public WiFi requires a login credentials like username and passwor, the adapter will not be able to work with it. It will only work if the connection is just asking for a network key.
