Get one of these. They aren't great but it's what you need. Runs off USB power so you stand a chance of not having to install electric.

u/NintendoManiac64 · 5 pointsr/buildapc

Few different build variants depending on your cousin's needs.

Note that this motherboard only has 2 PCIe slots, so you might not want to use a wifi adapter that's PCIe (I personally am partial to this IOGEAR ethernet-wifi adapter, but it's only 150mbps and the 300mbps version is more expensive at $44 bucks).

Special mention that the RAM is known to work with the motherboard.

u/YaztromoX · 4 pointsr/PS4

Two options:

  1. Get a set of Powerline Ethernet Adaptors. These allow you to run ethernet through the existing power lines in your home (without impacting their ability to deliver power), or
  2. Get an external WiFi ethernet adaptor. This will plug into your PS4s ethernet jack, and will then connect to your WiFi router. A decent such adaptor is likely going to have better WiFi than is built into the PS4 (and you may be able to find one that has a better antenna as well).

    HTH!
u/Remo_253 · 3 pointsr/htpc

You can use a simple ethernet to WiFi adapter like either of these from IoGear:

Ethernet to Wi-Fi N Adapter for Home or Office, GWU627

Ethernet-2-WiFi Universal Wireless Adapter, GWU637

u/Anon10W1z · 3 pointsr/berkeley

You can use something like this that takes in a Wi-Fi connection and converts it to Ethernet

EDIT: This one doesn't support Enterprise :(

u/WWWVVWWW · 3 pointsr/Windows10

Sounds like you want something like This

u/thelosttech · 2 pointsr/sysadmin

So the printer has ethernet but you don't have a drop for it?

​

You want something like this:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018YPWORE/

u/phucking_phantastic · 2 pointsr/techsupport

You could try using a CAT5 to WIFI adapter (assuming that adapter supported the network's security methods).

Something like this might work - https://www.amazon.com/IOGEAR-Ethernet-2-WiFi-Universal-Wireless-GWU637/dp/B018YPWORE/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=ethernet+to+wifi&qid=1569328089&s=electronics&sr=1-3

u/NotBillNyeScienceGuy · 2 pointsr/HomeNetworking

A client bridge or something like this: IOGEAR Ethernet-2-WiFi Universal Wireless Adapter, GWU637 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018YPWORE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_q.20Ab6KTZP7M

Best option would be to run hardwired connection

u/DoctorCorvair · 2 pointsr/HomeNetworking

Rough idea I have is to use a WiFi to Ethernet adaptor to feed into my own router and have my devices connect to my own router, since I cannot normally cascade the routers without an Ethernet connection. Using something like the IOGEAR Ethernet-2-WiFi Universal Wireless Adapter, GWU637 ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018YPWORE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_sp6ZAbAT856DJ ).

I think that would work, but not 100% certain as I have not used one before.

u/303onrepeat · 2 pointsr/Ubiquiti

> The issue is that I only have one data port in my living room and it has to connect an Xbox, PlayStation, raspberry pi and smart Tv and I do not want to use a WiFi connection for each.

I got to thinking and there might be a way for you to get all this to work and to bypass the needing too hard wire the ethernet in for the DVR into the network.

So if you don't want to run another home run ethernet line just for the DVR I got to thinking and I remembered ethernet wifi adapters use to be a thing back in the day. You could turn on wifi on the ATT router then use something such as this
https://www.amazon.com/IOGEAR-Ethernet-2-WiFi-Universal-Wireless-GWU637/dp/B018YPWORE
Or pick up an Apple Airport Express (if you want 5Ghz connectivity) and then use wifi to put your DVR to that network. In theory that should get it back on the ATT network, you can put out your unifi switch in the living room and hook everything to it. Then put all the ATT boxes either wirelessly to the same ATT network or use coax.

That should fix everything as long as that ethernet adapter works as it should. Or you might be able to use a cheap power line connector as well.

u/sdgunz · 1 pointr/gpumining

I use SMOS and IOGEAR Ethernet-2-WiFi Universal Wireless Adapter, GWU637

Draws power from USB port on board and connects to Ethernet port on board. 100% uptime for me.

u/T3chTr0n · 1 pointr/googlefiber

Yes, and actually they do make them. Here

u/Xoron101 · 1 pointr/sysadmin

Something like this might work

But running wiring to the printers is a better solution

u/onliandone · 1 pointr/buildapc

Hm. I'm actually really not sure whether it will fit. I have the same wifi card and for me it did not fit in one of my mATX builds - it fit just fine into the board but it would collide with the psu below. But it might very well work for you! Depends on psu height and the case, hard to predict. Maybe something to try out.

If it does not fit get a wifi ethernet bridge like https://www.amazon.de/Ethernet-2-WiFi-Universal-Wireless-Adapter-GWU637/dp/B018YPWORE instead. A router should also work, if you have one available.

u/microlard · 1 pointr/smarthome

sample adapter.

The are many other options. If you have an old router sitting around, you might be able to flash that with tomato or another firmware to convert it.

u/Start_button · 1 pointr/HomeServer
u/superbread · 1 pointr/orangecounty

It's likely not ideal since there might be some restrictions your work has on the phone and because you'd be spending money, however, there are options like ethernet to wireless adapters if you cannot find a location.

u/tminus7700 · 1 pointr/Electricity

Best is a stand alone wifi box (IIRC, these are also called a wifi game adapters) placed in a weatherproof plastic utility box and run CAT-5 or -6 down into the underground area through conduit,

u/grahad · 1 pointr/sysadmin

I can only guess that the users are using WiFi to connect to the network? If so then hooking the printer up via a Ethernet -> WiFi bridge (a lot of extenders do this too).

Ex: https://www.amazon.com/IOGEAR-Ethernet-2-WiFi-Universal-Wireless-GWU637/dp/B018YPWORE

As far as I can tell the printer comes with Ethernet baseline (not an add-on), just not WiFi networking according to the spec I found. One problem you will have though is if you have each user using a VPN they probably wont be able to see the printer on the leased network you are using without some tweaking.

u/1boog1 · 1 pointr/GoogleWiFi

You can if you have multiple pucks, and that one is part of the mesh. if not you might be better off looking into a wifi to ethernet adapter, something like this https://www.amazon.com/IOGEAR-Ethernet-2-WiFi-Universal-Wireless-GWU637/dp/B018YPWORE

u/jrbless · 1 pointr/HomeNetworking

A wireless bridge (like this) somewhat works around the problem, but only somewhat. Take the bridge and connect it to the WAN port of a router (that is not wireless or has the wifi disabled). Then, you can run ethernet cables to the router. The bridge gets an IP address from the college's wifi, then you get internal IP addresses from your router.

Very specifically note this will do NOTHING to help with wifi congestion issues for being able to connect to the internet (or anything on the WAN side of your router).

Another option would be to get an Ethernet to Wireless Adapter something like this.

u/TannerHill · 1 pointr/tmobile

So I know this isn't a direct answer for you in finding the cellfi duo booster but it's a solution I worked out for my friend who lives in an apartment building such as yours with only wifi.

I picked up one of these off amazon
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018YPWORE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_L13wDbPEHHXG3

And as long as your wifi network in the apartment building is just a simple you enter a password and it doesn't have a webpage for you to sign in (RADIUS or a captive login portal) then you can configure it to connect to the wifi network giving you an ethernet port that has an internet connection, he then plugged that into his cellspot and has had great results from what I've heard.

Again this isn't T-Mobile advised at all but its somthing I used to help my friend out who moved to an apartment with no service on the ground floor and no ethernet ports in his APT.

u/digitalchaos · 1 pointr/techsupportmacgyver

Too bad it only does 2.4
I've been a fan of this for 2.4. It's a bit more money, but incredibly small:

u/Egglorr · 1 pointr/networking

Okay, so the phone is mandatory in this scenario, got it. In that case you could maybe use something like this. That would connect to your phone over WiFi, then spit out wired ethernet on the other side allowing you to use whatever WiFi AP / router you want for all the rest of your devices.
