New Linksys Ethernet to Wireless interface
Wireless access device for Ethernet devices...

Hi,

I found this information on a new Linksys Ethernet to Wireless Device:

Linksys' Instant Wireless to Ethernet Adapter (WET11) enables Ethernet-equipped network hardware - like a PC, printer or router - to connect to the wireless LAN. It can also act as a repeater station to increase signal strength on the WLAN

Hopefully this will be reasonably sized and priced, as this would be ideal to connect an Audrey to a Wireless network.

Regards,

PJE

I contacted their sales team when I first heard about this earlier in the week. They said availability was 2 to 3 months away. They didn't give me pricing.

I think you can get that functionality currently from a d-link access point. It has a client mode which AFAIK allows an ethernet enabled device to get onto a wireless network.

Buy.com seems to be the cheapest place to pick them up.

These are running a little over $100 at this writing. I have one of these and it works fine with the Audrey - patch the usb network interface into the Linksys WET11 and it just works. You may need a windoze machine to set it up (assign IP address to the WET11 and such), although there is an option to set up with a web browser that I did not use.

Don't do what I did! Inadvertently assigned a fixed IP address to the WET11 that was the same IP as another (DHCP-assigned) PC on my network - stuff goes crazy!

Either the 900AP or 900AP+ (set as a AP client) should be fine (or the DWL810, or Linksys WET11). Where'd you find the DWL-900AP for $69?

The benefits of the 900ap+ are newer firmware (typically more stable), the ability to connect to other 22mbps equipment (higher speed), and if you plan to use the device as an AP as a fallback (say you stop using your Audrey), I'd recommend the plus model (more features than the 900ap).
