In the past I used Ubiquiti AirRouter and just set it to bridge mode.
It worked and I have one on the truck -- just trying to see if there is anything newer / better.
Have a client without network access near alarm panel.
Need to get 2 network connections for remote updates and email notification board.
I don't want to use powerline carrier type network extenders due to other technology used in house.
What are my current options to extend Ethernet to the location ~35-40' 'open' space between his existing CenturyLink modem/router/WAP?
Everything I'm finding is from 2008'ish.
D-Link DAP-1522, TRENDnet N300.

I started using Picostations a while back after having intermittent issues with the consumer stuff.
Can a Snap WAP be put in Bridge mode? That could be another option.
And change out the POS modem/wifi router!!!!!

I started using Picostations a while back after having intermittent issues with the consumer stuff. Blayne, the only issue with using AP in bridge mode is that they usually have 1 ethernet port. Most installations I've done I needed 2-3 devices (BD, TV, AVR). I know installing a simple 5-8 network switch would solve it, but it's another thing to add and another power supply to deal with. On Thursday, I installed another AirRouter in bridge mode where I used ports1 to feed HAI panel and port2 for email notification board. There is talk of using port3 for small appliance as well. I just need to find something that will work on new 802.11AC Can a Snap WAP be put in Bridge mode? That could be another option. I'll ask them about it when I see them on Friday, but again, that would only be a single port.

And change out the POS modem/wifi router!!!!! Oh, it's on the books. Client is getting 0.76Mbps from CenturyLink 'AFTER upgrading to faster Internet'. On my way home I stopped by another client's house from down the street and snapped this picture:  After I forwarded said photo to the first client, he quickly scheduled an upgrade for next available time slot. Comcast CXI team confirmed that address in question has high speed internet available, up to 250Mbps.

Linksys has a media bridge that I just used. It joins the network via WPS and is AC for really cheap.
I believe the Asus routers can be set to bridge mode fairly easily.

If they are on cable, and there is a coaxial connection nearby, consider Mocha. Super easy, super reliable.

I know that. I'm trying to figure why he said that if they're on cable service to use MoCa?
As if I couldn't use MoCa if they weren't using Comcast.

There is no truth anymore. Only assertions. The internet world has no interest in truth, only vindication for preconceived assumptions. |

If you have a solution that's solid, stick with it until you've had time to test others. In the meanwhile, if you need more ports, just add a switch. Wouldn't that solve your issue, or is it more complicated that that?

MocA into a network switch. You couldn't have a more reliable solution other then fishing a hardwire line

I'm looking for wireless solution for the rare cases that I can't run any wires to the location, like the alarm panel in the closet.
