Wireless network bridge
Posted by davis818 on 7/23/14 at 2:57 pm00
I am trying to hook up Netflix in a bedroom with a Blu-ray player that does not have a wireless adapter. Does anyone have a good suggestion on a reasonably priced network bridge?
why not just buy a chromecast?
eta you'll spend at least $35 trying to get some type of network bridge and endless fooling around with it. chromecast is far more elegant and you get alot more than just netflix

Find a cheap router that you can load tomato on. I did this with a couple of Belkin N300's. I also just purchased an EnGenius bridge that Newegg had on deal for $30, but I haven't hooked it up yet.

Hassle-free out-of-the-box 5GHz bridge - just plug in ethernet on both sides: LINK
But if you already have decent wireless in the house, that Chromecast device will probably work fine for you.

Not to mention Chromecast is one third the price of that.

I got one of these LINK free from Newegg when I bought an Asus N66U recently. It's listed at $30 right now on Newegg. Might be able to get it free with another purchase or $20 or so elsewhere.
It's a simple wireless bridge, no more. 4 100Mbps switch ports to connect to TVs, Gaming consoles, etc.
I used the free one I got to put in my son's room for his TV and PS3. Works fine so far. Setup was easy for me, but I do know what I'm doing. Normal setup shouldn't be an issue for anyone else. Just follow the steps.
