I have a remote location where I need an Ethernet connection or preferably two. I can get power there but not a run of Ethernet from a switch.

Is there a device that can bridge wifi to an Ethernet that I can plug into? Whole house is unifi ubiquitous stuff.

Actually as I type I wonder would the second port on an ap ac pro work if it was meshed on wifi ….

OK that was a bit more of a faff than I thought it would be. Working though - now to figure out if it will reach where I want smile

FWIW - I have a non-Wifi network printer. I just use an Apple Airport Express, which is connected to the Wifi and RJ45 between it and the printer.

Luckily the house / outbuildings are full unifi 4 switches, gateway, and more than a dozen APs. The uplink downlink meshing seems to work quite well.
