This Ethernet to Wi-Fi adapter and repeater is an universal wireless adapter for any device with an Ethernet port. Simple setup through using computer with a web browser. After the setup, just plug the Wi-Fi adapter into the Ethernet port of your wired equipment.

A wireless bridge adapter, like the Asus WL330GE, simply “catches” the Wi-Fi signal and converts it to Ethernet, letting connect those Ethernet-only devices without a long cable run.

USB to Ethernet Adapters When you require a Ethernet connection and have no available ports, a USB to Ethernet adapter can be plugged into the USB port to provide you with Ethernet connectivity. These adapters are plug-and-play-ready and, when connected, provide for full-speed Ethernet data transfers.

Ethernet is just plain faster than Wi-Fi—there’s no getting around that fact. The exact maximum speed of your Ethernet cable depends on the type of Ethernet cable you’re using. However, even the Cat5e cable in common use supports up to 1 Gb/s. And, unlike with Wi-Fi, that speed is consistent.

The standard for wireless networking within a home or office. Also known as a “Wi-Fi” or “802.11” network, wireless Ethernet is the wireless counterpart to regular, wired Ethernet, which is also the standard for local networks. See 802.11 and wireless LAN.

To connect the adapter and use an Ethernet connection

1. Plug the USB-C connector on the adapter into the USB-C port on your Surface device.
2. Take an Ethernet cable that’s plugged into a router, switch, hub, or modem, and then plug the other end into the Ethernet jack on the adapter.

The maximum speeds of many Wi-Fi protocols are slower than speeds offered by common ethernet connections. Even if higher, Wi-Fi speeds are significantly more affected by interference, distance, and signal strength, resulting in slower transfer speeds.

Wi-Fi and ethernet can be used at the same time on your computer, however, the connection will not be any faster than just using one connection type. This is because the data comes from the same source, the same router.

A WiFi connection transmits data via wireless signals, while an Ethernet connection transmits data over cable. No cables are needed to access a WiFi connection, providing greater mobility for users who can connect to a network or the Internet while moving freely around a space.

Wireless adapters are electronic devices that allow computers to connect to the Internet and to other computers without using wires. Most laptops and tablet computers have built-in wireless adapters, but you often have to install them on desktop computers.

Creating a Wireless Network Set up your router. Plug a computer into one of the router’s LAN ports. Open a web browser on your computer. Type in the router’s IP address. Log in with the administrator account. Open the Wireless section of the router settings. Change the name of your network in the SSID field.

Wireless USB is a short-range, high-bandwidth wireless radio communication protocol created by the Wireless USB Promoter Group which intends to further increase the availability of general USB-based technologies. In large, IPv6 was a key of this technology.

A LAN adapter is simply one that is able to access this type of network. A LAN adapter can be used with a wireless or wired network, though when purchasing on, it is important to understand what type of network and connection is needed. In most cases, a wireless adapter cannot be used for a wired network and vice versa.
