Wan WiFi

[Gil]

Has anyone setup a hardware wifi client on the WAN port of a hardware router such as an SG1000?
Wondering what WiFi device to use.

You mean like a wifi bridge or a LTE modem?

Sometimes they are called wifi ethernet adapter - like the WNCE2001 from netgear.

If you really mean LTE then like the LB1120

What is providing this wifi signal you want to connect to?

WiFi Bridge.
I have ordered on of these:

Let us know how it turns out - what exactly is providing the wifi? Is your own? You know those are not going to be very fast right..

data rates up to 300Mbps

That is marketing speak for maybe 150 right.. Oh wait..

Network Interface One 10/100 BaseT with RJ45 port (WAN/LAN)

Wow... Just utter nonsense marketing... They brag that it can do 3000Mbps, twice as fast as their other product

boasts speeds twice that of IOGEAR's Universal Wireless-N Adapter (GWU627).

but then it has a 10/100 wire.. So you might see 95ish ;) top end... So their other listed as 150, its spec's doesn't even list what the wire port is.. Have to assume 10/100 as well. So it could do say 75ish.. 95 vs 75 doesn't seem double to me ;)

Hope it works out for you. If your wan is only 100 you should be fine.

Thanks johnpos, will let you know - when one finally arrives.
My ISP speeds are always less than 100Mbs WAN speeds anyway.
