I used it primarily to bridge WiFi from my phone to my pc through the Ethernet port and it works perfectly, the only downside is that it only detects 2.4g signals, other than that it’s pretty good

I had a device that was crashing whenever it used wifi, but worked over ethernet, I just could not get a cable to it reasonably due to its location. This ended up being a simple and fast solution that is working perfectly. The device had a NUC so it had USB power, so it was a no-additional-wires solution. Setup is pretty easy though it is a lot easier to do if you hook up the ethernet port for configuration rather than trying to configure (only) over wireless. All in all a very nice solution for not much money.

This unit is ALMOST plug-n-play. Plugging it straight into a configuration computer with its RJ45 Ethernet jack (in lieu of a regular network cord) and restarting the Ethernet interface on the configuration computer. This pulls an IP address of 192.168.254.100 from the DHCP server on the VAP11N, and probably accesses a built-in DNS server on the device, resolving the name vonets.cfg to the device's default UI IP address, 192.168.254.254. The default behavior, once the device is configured and rebooted, is to turn OFF the onboard DHCP server, for obvious reasons.A firmware upgrade is advisable (latest firmware as of this writing dates from Jun 26, 2024). The device has to be basically configured and online on the Internet to obtain the upgrade, and any configuration done prior to the upgrade will be lost, requiring one to start from scratch - a common behavior - so don't waste time fine-tuning your configuration prior to upgrading the firmware.This device only uses 2.4G WiFi connections, but later models, such as the Vonets VAP11AC, will connect to 5G access points. Power can be supplied from either a USB-A connection (built-in pigtail), or via an AC plugin adapter providing anywhere from 5V - 15V DC.While initial connection to the configuration UI is pretty easy, some technical knowledge of TCP/IP networking/bridging is useful in order to insure proper setup for your required application. As is common with configuration UIs for small devices such as this, the UI is a bit "fiddly". It requires both a per-screen "Apply" for settings changes, PLUS a reboot of the device to make any changes effective, and some settings don't seem to "stick" the 1st time. With a bit of knowledge, and reasonable patience, you can get the VAP11N to do everything except cook breakfast!If you get lost in configuration, you can always do a factory reset and start over (assuming you didn't brick the device by fumbling a firmware upgrade).UPDATE: This unit failed after a few weeks of use.

KiwiSDRをワイヤレス接続するために使用。様々な接続形態に対応しているためかやや複雑ながら、基本的に添付説明書に記載されている通りの手順で設定出来た。接続している機器のMACアドレスが透過されるため、一時的に有線LANに接続変更してもルーター側の設定(接続セキュリティ、DHCPのIPアドレス固定設定、外部公開)を変える必要が無いのは便利。発熱は気になるほどではなく、KiwiSDRと合わせて狭いスペースに設置し二年ほど連続稼働しているが、中断や速度低下などは一切無く非常に安定稼働している。

Works great with a MiFi/jetpack. Cannot get it to work with my same cellular service provider using my phone. It would just lock up and crash the config page, and I need to factory reset the unit. For the price point, I am just happy I have connectivity.I get 35mbps down, which is plenty for work, and I am sure is dependent on my hotspot.

If you don't mind the fact that this device is Chinese developed and manufactured and not audited for security (though the brand has been around quite a while), then this is a great and inexpensive way to extend your wi-fi or provide an inexpensive travel router, assuming you don't mind a cap of 300Mbps.I purchased this to use with an LG OLED C8, whose wi-fi chip has been rendered borderline useless by a recent firmware update. It's being used as a bridge to connect to my wi-fi and then pass that onto the TV through it's Ethernet port. After hours of using it with 4K content, it hasn't missed a beat and is doing a great job. The firmware is basic and full of bad English (not unusual), but it's functional and even if you're not technical, following the quick start guide should get you up and running. It also has a one-button firmware update function built-in, which is very handy.This is a device for specific purposes but it serves that purpose well and for a cheap price. If you're concerned about security though, you might want to make sure it only has a connection directly to your router and not the wider Internet directly.

Ich schreibe nicht oft Rezensionen, aber in diesem Fall: ich bin begeistert von dem Produkt. Selten wurden meine Erwartungen so übertroffen. Ich benutze das Gerät um meine Wallbox, die nur ein LAN Interface hat, in meine WLAN zu bringen. Darüber hinaus funktioniert das Gerät jetzt auch noch als Repeater (Wifi Extender) für mein häusliches WLAN. Besonderer Vorteil: die WLAN "Stärke" kann man per Menü erhöhen. Zur Haltbarkeit und Nachhaltigkeit kann ich nichts sagen, da ich das Gerät erst seit 2 Tagen in Betrieb habe.

La configurazione è di una semplicità disarmante: colleghi l'apparecchio al pc, vai sull'indirizzo specificato nel manualetto allegato (in inglese, purtroppo) e imputi i dati per il collegamento alla tua rete wifi, come se fosse un normale router. Se mastichi un pò di networking, ci metti al massimo 1 minuto. Collegato all'utilizzatore, nel mio caso un NAS, ha funzionato immediatamente. Velocità eccellente, nessuna caduta di linea, stabilità perfetta. Direi che un apparecchietto del genere e con un costo assolutamente abbordabile, in certi casi è estremamente utile se non indispensabile in quanto trasforma un qualsiasi utilizzatore dotato si presa RJ per la rete, in una unità wifi. Assolutamente consigliato.

Brilliant little dongle! Bought this when we moved the BT youview box up into the bedroom, as you may know the youbox a wired internet connection and though i would give this a try. Powered by the USB socket on the back of the box and it works a treat. Really simple to setup even for a novice with networking experience, instructions aren't the best but can make out what to do, even a simple youtube search will give a clear video on how to do it.I have tested this for amazon prime streaming and so far it hasn't missed a beat. My router is sat in the living room and we have a solid brick built house so would expect some buffering but so far nothing! Have had this setup for a little over a month. Would recommend if you are looking to get over any hardwired issues and have limited plug sockets at your disposal!

Awesome device. The little, and I mean it’s tiny, manual that comes with it is a bit cryptic in its terminology, but that's mostly because there is very little wordage. Just a few words here and there, and it’s easy to get confused as to what they mean. But technologically speaking, this device is awesome.Outside of the cryptic manual, it’s actually easy to setup and use. I just connected it to my PC, browsed to its static IP of 192.168.254.254, and then used the Web GUI to set it up. That consisted of scanning for my WiFi “hotspots” (available SSIDs), selecting the one I wanted it to bridge, then giving it a static IP so I can always find it. Boom! Done! Now just plug it into any RJ45 port, and its on my network. I used this for an outdoor WiFi Security camera that had dropped off the network. WiFi on the camera wasn’t working anymore, but once I plugged this into its RJ45 port the camera was back on the network and working flawlessly. And it’s actually got better throughput than the camera’s original WiFi connection.It also has the option of becoming a hotspot itself. This can be disabled if you like (which I did as I only needed the bridge for the camera) but it does offer the functionality of extending your WiFi network from the point it is deployed. So it’s not only a great bridge for wired devices but also a WiFi extender.Unbeatable product at this price point! And it saved me from having to replace a WiFi camera that had lost its WiFi capabilities. The cameras I use are awesome in every respect except their WiFi circuitry. Crappy circuit that is prone to low bandwidth and utter shutdown. I’ve had three of these cameras develop WiFi problems, but this little jewel saves them!
