It has become a valuable tool in my arsenal. Since then, that wireless bridge has saved by bacon a time or two. When the construction was done I had an issue with the internet being out in one of my other offices and that's when the idea hit me of bridging my hotspot to the network. So I used the bridge connected to a switch to give network access, worked flawlessly for a couple months while the construction was going on.

I however purchased my bridge for another reason, we had some construction going on in one of the offices and I needed to get network access to some computers and a copier in another part of the office. If the router supports bridge mode, I would think it should be able to do it. I have had to do this several times due to ISP issues over the years, so the wireless bridge is part of my toolbox.Ĭan any wireless router do the job like the above Trendnet you recommended ? Or Trendnet TEW-750DAPĪre specially designed to work as a bridge between WiFi and Ethernet. This gave everyone in the office internet and VPN connectivity until the cable could be repaired. I used the hotspot on my iPhone and the wireless bridge in the link above wired into my router. Had an instance several months ago where the ground was being dug up for landscaping, in the process the cable going into our building was cut.

Yes, I have done this before with a wireless bridge.
