Vonets VAP11G usb WiFi Bridge



Connect any product that has an RJ45 Ethernet Port and a USB port (for power only) to a wireless router.

The Vonets VAP11G USB WiFi Bridge is powered by USB however it also has a separate DC input if external power is required. Example for Dreambox DM500 Connect the DM500 PSU to the DC input socket on the WiFi Bridge and connect the power out from WiFi Bridge to DM500.

Suitable for AZBox HD, Dreambox, SpiderBox, Vu+ Duo, Vu+ Solo, Media Players, Game Consoles, IP Cameras, VoIP Phones and any other device with an RJ45 Ethernet port.

Simply connect the included USB Lead from the WiFi Bridge to a spare USB socket on the receiver / game console for power and connect the included RJ45 Ethernet lead from the WiFi Bridge to the RJ45 Ethernet socket on the receiver / game console for wireless connection.

The Vonets VAP11G USB WiFi bridge can convert any device with an RJ45 Ethernet Port into wireless

i phone

with regards to the wifi bridge and dm500. Ive just tried to set up the exact wifi bridge shown but i was hoping to run it from the wifi hotspot on my iphone is this possible as im not getting anywhere fast. Ive ran the software supplied with the wifi bridge and it says ive been succesful but im not sure what to do when i connect it to the dreambox. ie dhcp ip address net mask etc.
thanks in advance

Good question, I too wanted to know if it's possible to connect db500s to wifi hotspot/mifi huawei E5830 (mobile broadband)/pc + dongle via the bridge?

Has been done but nothing concrete,you need a 3g dongle router not a normal router.

Andy,

Thanks Andy91

Assumably mifi wouldn't require another router? just the wifi
bridge?.

Wouldn't the mifi be the equivalent of the dongle & plug in router together?.
I should have asked if I could establish a connection without a fixed telephone line, either with mifi iPhone 3gs or pc on a completely wireless local network?.
