Vonets VAP11S-232 2.4GHz Mini Repeater/Wi-Fi Router/Serial Server with 2 External Antennas Wireless Bridge Best Partner for Electronic Scales, PLCs

I was able to use this to change a wired printer into a wireless printer. The setup was simple, but also not. I selected all the right settings, clicked apply, and then it just said "please wait" for 15-20 minutes. I restarted the whole process because it really shouldn't take that long. I got to "please wait" again, and after a few minutes, just decided to print a test page just in case. It worked! It never told me it was successfully set up, but it did set up properly. You may or may not need some black electrical tape because this thing just blinks green and blue at all times, and in a dark room, that can be a bit annoying. I do recommend this, but just be patient with it and give it a test even if it hasn't confirmed that it finalized setup.

It works very well,but the instructions are poor

awful system. configuration is clunky and not intuitive. took me several tries just to get the system to successfully connect to the parent wifi - if it fails you have to hard reseet the device using the hard button on the unit and start over. never even got to test the unit succesfully. not worth it. built in china and acts like it. dont bother.

This did exactly what I needed, I had no problems setting it up as an IT professional but I could see this being overwhelming for someone thats not familiar with the terminology. The wizard/GUI is very limited and has only essential features. Additionally, I bought the 5Ghz version and it appears that it ONLY works on 5Ghz and is not compatible with 2.4Ghz networks. It does take about 10 minutes or so to fully boot and establish a connection, i'm using this to monitor solar panels so its not a big deal for me.

Initially I got this transmitter as a repeater for an outdoor camera. Wanted to run it with a portable powerbank and a 5W solar panel but I realized it is just a bit too power hungry for that usage. I got the little brother of that model for that and am currently using this one as a receiver for my tower gaming PC. Works as expected and was super easy to set up!

Ok, to be fair, I’m using this as a network bridge to connect a raspberry pi which controls my telescope via Ethernet to my Wi-Fi. I was using the rPi wireless but the antenna are pretty weak and even with strong signal at the telescope I was having some dropouts and slow image file transfers. This did make my connection more stable and cut file transfer speeds in half. In astrophotography, darkness is essential. I’ve attached a video here from when I was getting setup for the night. As you can see, this device is a light pollution beast!! I mean seriously, I may put it on top of my tree this Christmas! What you are seeing here is with black tape covering everything I could. I could not cover the vents or ports and the amount of light leaking from this device is like a beacon for ships passing in the night! I asked in questions if these could be disabled in software and the seller replied “Put some black tape over it”. Well, there you go. 3 stars for a decent Wi-Fi bridge, 0 for helpful customer service.

WiFi Bridge Mode. Requires configuration, which requires a system with wifi. The last step requires the user to reboot the device, and wait for completion. However, the devices drops the connection, so the reboot appears to be incomplete. Fortunately, that is not the case, and all is well. Oh yes.You will need to supply a USB power cord.

May be okay. Did not work for what I needed it for
