[QUOTE="blr_p, post: 1996871, member: 10952"] You want a bridge. Its connected to the ethernet port of the printer. The printer does not know the difference, it believes there is still a wire. So long as there is an ethernet connection you can wifi enable any device in this way. If necessary use a longer ethernet cable between bridge & printer so bridge gets a good signal from your main router. Think of it as a wifi dongle without the problems of long wires associated with a usb dongle. Or a wifi enabled printer that wont allow you to position antenna for better wifi reception as its built in (!) [URL='http://www.tp-link.in/products/details/?categoryid=241&model=TL-WR702N'][U]TL-WR702N[/U][/URL] Key is this router allows to be setup in 'client' mode. Same thing as bridge. Flipkart [URL='http://www.flipkart.com/tp-link-tl-wr702n-150mbps-wireless-n-nano-router/p/itmdtp8datbmzzhw'][U]has[/U][/URL] it. How big are your print files ? with an N150 device like this you can expect 2-3MB/s so a 15MB file to print will take nearly 10s seconds to transmit over. So a wired connection is faster for many big size print jobs. Which model# printer are you using btw ? [/QUOTE]
